Cool Speedo Relocation Options?

Hey guys n gals! I am gathering up a list of ''to do'' things for this winter and one of them is relocating the speedo. I see a lot of people going with the Joker kit but I am wondering if there is anything else than that. Seems like it's really well made but I would also like something smaller.
Thanks for the input

I am doing the "48" speedo bucket and clamp on my Iron with drag bars and risers. I have the bars and risers, waiting on HD "48" parts. I should have it done next week (along with black 412 progressives and the front and rear blacked out axel covers).

If you look at the "48", the speedo lays flat and I like to retain somewhat of a stock look.

Here's mine. Cost me all of $45 and that's because I picked up a spare speedo housing on Ebay for $35.
Just replaced the front tank bolt with a 6 inch grade 5 bolt. Added a 2 inch spacer and bolted on the Autometer 3209 bracket.
Chopped off the speedo housing with a band saw and painted it.
Pretty quick and easy to do.

That's the way I'm doing mine, I finally got my autometer clamp in the mail.
Why did you buy another housing?
I don't see where you used it in your application.
Just asking questions before I start cutting mine.
Thanks

I wanted to have a stock one just in case I didn't like it and wanted to put it back to the stock position. For $35 it was worth it.
