I have been looking to put apes on my sportster and i have all the parts and am going to do it in the winter. i just would like some help with the speedo relocation to the trees or something have any ideas.

 

the following idea requires cutting/grinding/painting, but it is dirt cheap..

thanks man. it looks pretty simple just need to find a clamp now. cause my gas tank wont give me the clearance you know.

 

You can use the configuration found on a 1200 Low for chrome or an 883 Low, Nightster or Iron for black. I think the stubby risers look great with apes. If you do, there are some little bits you need to swap the dummy lights.

I put on T bars rather than apes, but I relocated the speedo to the top tree following capttawes relocation idea from a previous thread. In these photos the speedo is mounted to a set of Accutronix trees but they do fit on the stock trees as well. I've listed the parts used below...

The speedo bracket is a V-Twin part # 39-0212 ($45). When I went to order mine it was on backorder from the factory though they were in stock at Discount Cycle Parts.

Other parts I used were purchased from HD...

67104-95 Speedo/Tach cushion $7
68513-95 Bezel, warning lamp $ 2
68516-95 Housing warning lamp $ 9.20
68551-95 Warning Jewel $14.96

 

hey thanks dudes.
