Hey guys, i did the autometer speedo relo bracket mod.
Problem is that I cant seem to position it any direction without it hitting the fork, unless I tilt it so far forward that i cant see the dial.

Did you guys that have done this mod attach yours to the upper tank lift bolt?
I am doing a tank lift in a day or two, so if thats the case I will just attach it to the top bolt.
Right now I have it attached with the actual mounting portion placed vertical as opposed to horizontal like I would like it to be.
This and the face is tilted towards the fork to keep it from hitting.

Also has anyone done an extesion to get it farther away from the tank?

Thanks.

 

I used that clamp and I had no problem with fork clearance. I did not do a tank lift and I used the tank mounting bolt. Got any pics of the install? That might help us help you. Only thing is that I drilled the hole big enough for the bolt and put it on the part of the bolt that is extending past the nut on the tank mount, then put on a second nut to secure the bracket. In other words, I did not remove the nut on the bolt first, I just added another one to it.

 

You did something wrong. Nothing should hit your speedo. May come close, but it should not hit. Everyone mounts them to the lower tank bolt on the left side horizontally.

 

streetfighter06 mine is mounted axactly like yours is and it hits the fork, unless the dial is tilted more forward.
I drilled the outer most bolt like I have seen done in searches to mount to the tank bolt....hhhmmmm thats just flat out weird.

Anyhow, I have to come up with something to tilt it more back where I can read the dial and ideally farther out from underneath the tank so I can see more of the dial face.
I am going to fab something better than this,....more to come.

Also working on an alternate location for the indicator lights as I just have mine covered with black tape till i can figure a place to mount them.

 

Billy.. I don't know the details of that round mount you bought.. but perhaps you can fab an L shaped bracket similar to the way I did it .. here is the link:

I did the same as you and mine hits also.
I'm going to work on it and extend it out some...when I get time this winter.
For now I just don't turn it to lock and I'm fine with it.

 

Joebotics, what is your mount attached to?
I am looking at the picture and cant really tell where you bolted it to.
Thanks for your help.

 

I used a 6 inch bolt and a 2 inch spacer to move it out away from the bike so I could see it clearly.
Simple and easy. No interference with the fork at all.

 

Hey Billy. The L shaped bracket is secured to the bottom part of the top triple tree by using the left handlebar riser bolt

 

BillyBlaze....

I did mine exactly the same as HecklerBoy and i have no issues. ( thanx Heckler )

Are you mounting the bracket with the speedo on the front side of the bolt hole or the back? I'm not sure really how to explain it, Look close at Heckler's pic... you might just need to spin the bracket around. that will move the housing forward. plus the 2" extension might be all you need. hope this helps
