Hello All,

First time forum poster

 

I have a 2014 Iron 883 that i've just put drag bars on. Looks awesome. The problem is that the stock speedometer stands out like a sore thumb and really ruins the look i'm going for.

 

 

At first I thought I'd just get a stock 48 speedo mount that lays the speedo flat but the below forum has put me off the idea:

Unless this has become a simple thing since 5 years ago. Like risers made to fit the 48 clamp?

The other option I've found is the Roland and Sands Cafe Gauge and Headlight Relocation kit.

This comes with a hefty price tag considering it's essencially a cup holder for your stock speedo!! Any decent pics I've seen of this has been with the snap on cafe bars that attach to the forks. I'd need a clamp for my drag bars and I'm not sure how this would look.

I've seen the relocation to the side under the tank that people have done and I'm not a fan.

Has anyone relocated their speedo to lay flat above the headlight? How did you do it? How much did it cost you? Pictures?

Any help is much appreciated!!

A search found this page on here. Save your crumbs and buy the roland sands kit. It's quality and the best way to go.

Cheers Fizzicist,

That Iron's really looking the part, I think I'm going to have to just fork out the cash and do the same.
The end result will be worth it, hopefully.

It looks like the indicator lights are covered from view by the handle bar clamp, I'll search around and see if you can get a bar clamp with the lights on it that won't cover the view of the speedo.

Thanks again mate!!

or do the Autometer relocation with the roll cage mount, cheap as chips!

Hey JB,

I have done the speedo relocation.

I purchased an autometre bracket from USA.

Cost about $15 for clamp and $40 ish for shipping.

Sprayed it black and mounted it myself.

Looks great.

I can send you some pics.

PM me your email address. Are you situated in Melbourne?

Man I just checked on some pricing and one particular franchise parts store wanted $40 for the clamp and $100 for the part to mount onto the forks. I need to work something out soon. Few options out there. I want to do it this weekend as the stock speedo looks ridiculous on drag bars

Let us know how you go Monstarr.
I still haven't done mine yet

Sounds like you've found a pretty cost effective option. Post some pics and run us through how it went when you're done!

Ok so seems as though joker machine is the way to go for bar clamps which will cater for dummy lights - around $140 and a few weeks wait.
Auto meter clamp is around $45 locally.

Can get standard bar clamps for $45 and double side tape the indicator lights but that's not ideal for me.
