Speedo mounting bracket needed for Hugger

[kevscrivener]

Fitted curved risers to wifey's 883 Hugger, problem is that this has altered the angle at which the speedo sits so it's now difficult for her to see it clearly.

I'm aware that there are different ones available which allow the speedo to sit more flat, anyone got a spare kicking around the garage from when they added a tacho or suchlike?

Have posted a wanted ad in classifieds but hopefully might get more audience in here.

Kev. Funny thing. The distance between the speedo mount holes & the two bolts that hold the headlamp eyebrow to the top triple clamp are the same.

Easy fix is to find two long bolts & spacers & mount the speedo forward of the bars & above the headlight. Still visible, looks good & a lot cheaper than a whole new mount.

Find some fance chrome allen bolts & paint the spacers black, looks custom. Colony, Gardner Wescott & other hardware companies even do chrome ones.

As I recall two & a half inch bolts with two & a quarter inch spacers sounds about right.
