Default Autometer Side Mount UK help....

Evenin all.....

So firstly being doing some research and found the below, but I am not sure if I need both parts or just one or the other (shock or tank mount).

It's a mount automator makes to mount gauges to a roll cage.
Here are some links

But also does anyone know a stockist in the UK that would have these?

Cheers!

Either will work. Bottom one will mount to your stock coil location or tank bolt like mine or the top one will mount around your fork tube.

Thanks for the clarification...

I am running a narrow glide front end so I am assuming the fork mount would make it foul the tank..?

What do people do to make the speedo housing look a bit better in the mount as it's white plastic...?

Still having no luck finding a UK seller :-(

Guy by the name of flatiron on here running the clamp style on his sporty and it looks good. I just wrapped mine really good in electrical tape and you cant even see it when it's in the mount. Been like that for 5 yrs now no issues.

Just ordered from the US, ok so it was 25$ on a 15$ part but at least there is no import duty...

Hopefully it will arrive when I am back from my business trip, want to get the Sporty finished for Spring!!

Mine didn't but no biggie if you do. Have you moved your coil? If not you can mount it there too. That's where I had mine until I moved my coil/ignition and tucked my wires.
