If you wait a few months you may be able to get used ones cheap from people relocating the speedo.

Good call. That, and the fact that when interest heightens, manufacturers and choppers will start producing 'em.

Once the 48 is on the floor take a look at the bracket and see how it was done...you can prolly also buy the part from the MoCo. Any stock part on a bike is available for purchase.
