It sounds to me that you want to know if you can change out the dual gauge bracket that you already have and put on the single gauge bracket that goes on a Sportster Custom. Yes, you can do it, but you may have to change out the handlebar mounts to be able to use the Sportster Custom bracket. I went the other way. I have a 2007 XL1200L Low and I changed out the single gauge bracket and I put on a dual gauge bracket but I had to change out the handlebar mount to be able to put the dual gauge bracket on. Dont forget, with enough money you can do pretty much anything you want to. Good luck with your installation and ride safe!

The mount you are talking about ( custom )is also made with a tach mount too. Good luck with the dealer.
