Does it have the dash lights in the bracket like the Joker unit?
The Roland Sands piece does have a spot for the idiot lights. Also, it is priced the same as the joker unit but if your installing tall risers it may be hard to see beacuse it places the speedo low and flat.

ok, after having problems finding a jack to go under my bike....i have decided not to go with the Joker relo bracket.

So I picked up the turn signal relo kit from Harley today
Now I will order my Avon air cushion grips in a minute
Then I will need to order that Autometer spedo relo bracket
find some bars I like and some risers and figure out how I am going to keep the idiot lights

Anyone know where I might pick up some cheap but well made drag bars?
I am guessing mine stock bars are 1in, seems like I saw that somewhere so I am wanting to stay stock and will likely want dimpled rather than run the wires internaly

steeler can you send me that link?
I havent figured out what I am going to do with the headlight.
I was looking into the option where you take the indicator light bar from an 03 Dyna and put it in the recess in the top of the eyebrow. but the part is 96.00
so i am looking into other options which would free me up to move the light or buy another light or whatever I want to do.
I do like the way yours looks and you option also makes the speedo look more natural imo
I dig your scoot

one other thing, since you flipped your light how does that work with the hi and low beam?

Well looks like just about everything I have ordered is on back order.

Does anyone know where I can get some cheap black 32-34in drag bars?
3.5-4.5in cheap black risers?

This would help me a lot otherwise I will be waiting till mid November for my parts, and I damn sure dont want to be bustin knuckles in the cold...lol

I have been looking for a while and all I have found have been crazy high in price or just not what i am looking for.

Maybe you guys with drags can help, I just havent been able to find a source with a lot of options and a wide spectrum of prices.
All I have found is way high, small selection, mostly chrome crap.

Hey Billy... here is the link....

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...n-my-take.html

the pictures are not that great... but if you are into fabricating your own stuff then this is real cheap to do and it looks good / speedo is quite visible / easy to adjust....

here are higher resolution pictures:

joebotics that looks awesome.
I had thought of the same thing but hadn't cut into anything yet so wasn't sure if it would work.
