Speedometer Relocation to Handlebars Question

« on: March 26, 2015, 05:52:36 AM »

I know this has been discussed a few years ago, and I apologize for bringing it up again...

I can only find one vendor that sells the kit for $200.00.

Are there any other options for moving the speedo and tach to the handlebars or at least a better location? My batwing style fairing covers the top half of the gauges.

Darryl at XF6 is the only one I'm aware of, and his price is what you stated...

For those that have done this, What exactly is included in the kit? I didn't see a list on the site and it shows you need to select which fairing you are using so kits must vary.

Not to be a smart ass, but everything you need...including a longer speedo cable.

Don't know about fairing differences (if any), but when I ordered mine, I did tell him that I had a Woodys fairing ordered.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

u could used clamps similar to these but less cost ones are avail out there, then u just have to come up with some spacers and bolt/nuts to finished it. I did similar when installing autometer gauges to the risers.

I will tell you that the ones Darrell makes are top quality. He lives just about 60 miles from me and I have been to his shop. He does all the CNC himself. Nice guy.
