Default I just made a speedometer relocation bracket.

I welded this up this morning before work.. This replaces the stock/bracket/ring so I didnt have to ruin the stock one.. It mounts on the front gas tank bolt. Nice and tucked in, it Barely clears my forks. I just got it painted, I will take more pics when I get it mounted up. Let me know what you guys think.. I could powder coat, or make out of stainless too??



Completion pics added. It works Great.

Summit sells this tach bracket for like $11. Kudos for doing it on your own, but it's just not worth it at all....

Maybe some truth.. But this is deffinatly a step above those cheesy gauge brackets that are cobbled on..

i got mine from summit racing also.. it seems that alot of people that relocate their speedo gets there bracket from summit, i guess since it's cheap... good job on your bracket.. can't wait to see what it looks like mounted.

Nice work. Really nice to be able to zip it together before you leave for work. Send us some pics once you have it installed.

+1 on making your own parts.

Summit just sells the autometer mounting bracket, the JM one for $250 has the the dummy lights.
