I agree to an extent. that example you gave definitely supports the idea. but mounted on my bars, it sits way to high, maybe 2-3 inchs higher then the one in the pic you posted. If it sat up like that, but at a lower mounting point, it wouldn't look so bad.

I may try to get a 1/4 fairing of some sort, if I can get it painted denim black... and just not worry about the stupid *** whack-a-mole speedo.
Bmxatv: your set up looks fine, the stock 883 speedo sits up like a pedo at a youth pagent. I think its the black casing as much as anything...

make a new mount plate for it or something, get creative. i know there's mounts out there on the net too, google! i think the cafe look needs to have those guages in plain sight like that, just looks so good on that style of bike. now if it were an old chop or bob or even a new modder sporty it would look like ****. good luck.

This is what I did. But it would be hard to do with a handlebar clamp still in play. Doesn't stand up too high, but just enough for that look.

Thanks man. I won't take full credit for it. I got the idea from grancuda here on the forum. I just made it more to my liking.
