You can also pop off the cover in your visor & pop in a light bar from a Dyna. It's already ovaled for it.

If the angle is an absolute must for you try a very short pair of pull back risers. That will angle the whole top clamp the the Fishboy lights will be pointed more at you much like the Anniversary edition top clamps.

I cannot sell them because I'm not a site sponsor but I'd be happy to help you make your own.
can you pm on how to make one?

I used 11 gauge plate and it's sandwiched between the risers through the front 2 bolts. All you have to do is cut out the hole for your indicator lights, drill the holes for the riser bolts then shape it as desired.

If you search my name my intro thread I have a pic of mine that i cut off my speedo ring it came out really well just used a cut-off wheel and some 36 grit sticky sandpaper I put on a table to get it nice and flat. Then just scuffed it up with A scotchbrite pad then painted it.

I took an angle grinder to my nightster's speedo clamp and used JB weld to fill in where it was all hacked up. I had my doubts - was like really? JB Weld? But what else was I going to do with my useless stock Speedo clamp? It was worth a try. I'm really surprised at how well it came out. I filled it in, let it dry, ground it down with the grinder and fine tuned it with some sand paper. I had to reapply the JB weld to fill in a couple spots. After sanding it down and painting it, it looks great.
