That's actually the JokerMachine mount. Licks is just reselling.

You could always do the auto meter with an addition roll bar
Mount... Same thing as the Joke but for a fraction of the cost and it mounts on the fork




Doesn't stick out too far

awesome @FlatIron !

Two noob questions for you...

1) Rollbar mount?
Educate me please.

2) Did you weld the indicator bit to the bars yourself?
(or is there some "clamp" that could keep the indicators even though the speedo has been moved)

Thanks!

It's a mount automator makes to mount gauges to a roll cage.
Here are some links

As for the dummy lights, I had a friend make me custom bars and that tab to put the lights in it. Those are dummy lights for a fatboy... What you could do is mount it to your headlight visor like street fighter mentioned earlier in this thread... Here is my old setup
I mounted them in the visor then cut and flipped it

Are these Autometer clamps or the ones that mount to the forks adjustable to different sized speedos? I've never physically seen them and love the look, but instead of a stock speedo...I have a smaller Drag Specialties speedo. Would this work?

Thanks!

Yeah, see its 2 parts, the 1st link I posted is for the mount that goes on the fork, the 2nd link
Is the bracket that everyone uses in their gas tank, it mount to the fork mount I got. That bracket is available in a few different gauge sizes... Just search the summit website or go to the auto meter website and find the size you need and search that part number on the summit site
