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
Thank you! I'll be doing the DK Tank Lift, Reloc, ect. soon after the upgraded A/C and custom dyno tune. In between, I wanna do this mod!


By the way....I FREAKIN' LOVE YOUR BIKE FLATIRON! The Black/Copper/Gold mix is phenomenal! One day......

I just installed this after installing my clip ons and im running into the problem that if i have the gauge angled to a point where i can see it when riding it gets hit by my clip ons if i turn left even the slightest. Now I could get the fork mount along with it but I was planning on buying some turn signals to hang off my forks and im trying to not make it cluttered. Its bolted onto the front gas tank bolt, any recommendations?

Has anyone cut the top hoop part off of the riser clamp? I dont see why you couldn't hack it off and grind it down for the dummy lights?

has anyone mounted the speedo someplace other than the side of the tank? I'm not too wild about that look

I used an RSD relocation kit to move my speedo from the riser clamp to the top of the triple tree.

This occurred to me as well a couple days ago. When I finally get around to doing the speedo relocation I'll likely give it a Try

man I'm really torn here.
I know that eventually I want to get the speedo relocation done.

I know that I could do it fairly quickly with the Autometer...
but I'm so tempted to wait and see what DK has been coming up with.

(I know it'll be more than the Autometer $wise ... but I'm guessing it'll probably also be less than the Joker)

what's a guy to do?

They are Biltwell Tracker bars. Really nice feeling bars. Not to wide just the right amount of rise. These really improve the way my bike handles.

Does anyone who has done a relo want to sell me their stock clamp/bracket so I can try cutting the hoop off? Preferably someone with a 48 bracket just in case I mess mine up, I'll be left with the flatter one. PM me please.
