Default Invert Gauge question

So I am new to the Harley family and love my 2007 Dyna Superglide. The one thing I want to change is the handle bar speedo. I do not like how it sticks up and looks out of place. What I want to do is reverse it so it sits closer to the tank.

I have done some searches but cant find what I am looking for, anyone do this? Is there a part to buy that I can change out the pod? ANy help would be appreciated.

Cheapest way is to get a Sportster Custom set-up off ebay and use it.

I have the set-up off the 07 FXDSE its a nice option but on the expensive side to do.

I fitted an 04'Sportster riser to my FXD,it fits no problem,if it's used make sure it's complete with back plate,plastic light cluster holder etc.the sperate parts are expensive,(don't ask how I know)if you want a pic let me know.

That one will work fine as long as you dont have a tank lift. If you want to have a tank lift then you will need the older style.
