i need to relocate my speedometer which is mounted on triple tree facing forward, what are my options?

could i get a gas tank dask like the super glide custom?

 

You could replace your tank with an FXDC tank, and then buy the speedo for it. Probably cost as much as the price difference in the FXD and FXDC.

 

There's a couple of options to relocate the speedo without replacing the tank, one is to buy a older superglide bracket (05 and earlier, that is not built int the top clamp) and attach it to your risers using billet clutch cable clamps, or if you want pullback risers some sportsters have a pullback riser with a speedo cup built on top that will work with your speedo. Accutronics sp? also makes a bracket to mount the speedo to the risers.I kind of like the speedo on the bars because you can see it and the road at the same time and the aircraft type gas cap is probally the best one that Harley has ever made, no leaks ever.

 

The first set-up I did on my 08 Super Glide was the stock set-up from the 07 FXDSE. I liked it a lot but the bars were a little to much of a reach for me.

Second time around I put a low rider/ SB tank on it this way I could use the stock speedo.

Pictures of both

 

Joker machine has this unit. A little over $200. You have to drop the fork leg to install it though. There are probably cheaper and easier solutions.

 

FWIW one of the reasons I chose thw FXD over the other Dynas was the aircraft fuel cap and the handlebar speedo. I like the looks and the functionality.

 

Thanks for the replies all, I will post some pics with the end result

 

if you're crafty you can do it several ways.

search for speedo relocate / speedometer relocations, and such, here on the site for ideas.

 

there is a guy on this forum who modified and relocated his speedo moving the speedo to the risers using clamps and the dummie lights to the tank panel. it was actually a very cleaver idea! cleaned the bike up nice.

 

This is an 09 using the older sporty mount option
