Default Joker Machine handlebar clamp

Anyone running their handlebar clamp with the slots for the indicator lights? Not to sound too ignorant, but do the bars get in the way of the wiring with this clamp? I'm relocating my speedo but would like to avoid hacking my stock bracket just in case.

The wires are in the same place as they are with the stock bracket, minus the speedo ring.

put one on my bike last weekend, I'm not the most handy person in the world and my selection for tools is very limited, otherwise i would have just used the stock speedo bracket.

That being said, the wires are in the same spot, as are the dummy lights, so just about everything is in the same spot, minus the speedo obviously. i'm very happy with the result on my bike

If your referring to the 5 holes going down the middle those are decorative, the dummy lights are in the same spot

Barrygreen is on the money!

That is the INCORRECT upper clamp you have a picture of. I was just researching them this week is how I know. Check out the jokermachine website. link below notice there are two upper clamps they offer.

Have the indicator clamp posted as well. Great quality looks amazing and fairly priced. Like stated above no wiring is different just make sure you order the right one.

DUH...............
Alright, I thought that the indicators went in the holes down the center because the pictures I'd found didn't show the indicator slots up at the top of the clamp. Geez....

Great quality piece as always with joker machine. Price is good for it and had no problems fitting it on my 48. Just don't loose the tiny screws that hold the light bracket in

Nope, won't lose the screws. Already have the speedo bracket off and waiting for the Autometer clamp to arrive. I did lose that indicator strip that goes over the bulbs for a few minutes tho. Darn thing floated down somewhere and I got to play needle in a haystack for a bit. New air cleaner comes in tomorrow, wheels and clamp Tuesday. I may just end up cutting my factory indicator section off and using it, like most others have. I can't see that kind of money for something not a lot different than what I already have.
