Default speedo question

I want to raise the front of the tank on my 05 1200c but the stock speedo placement is in to low. Any cheap easy fixes for me to try?
I found a tube mount relocate kit in J&P but to expensive and not what im looking for.

Ok did the search and found alot of side mounts what I would like to do is move it to the top of clamp like the older style but looking at it right now with the stock riser on it isn't going to happen with it being solid so no place to run the wires.
