Gauge relocation

[Haudy991]

Thanks for all the input and pics. I flipped the stock mount but the problem there is with my Pro Taper bars you cant see the gauge unless your standing. Here is what I am going to try next. I turned the riser around and am going to make mount plate to loacate the gauge pod on the rider side of the riser as long as i can get the wiring harness to reach. If it works out I will post some pics as soon as I can.

There are 2 guys on here that did that. Here is a link http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php? ... sc&start=0
There is one pic on the 1 page and the other is on the 2 page

That looks exactly like what I am thinking of doing. Its nice to know it will work before I spent the time making the bracket. Thanks for the link.

SoulHammer,
What are you running for handguards & mounts?? I've got the Power madd ones that just are held with a bolt thru 2 small pieces of plastic, I don't care for them, they break to easy....
Your set up is much better

Does the windshield even help at all? I didn't think it'd fit with the gauge there but it does. Thanks for the pic!

your welcome for the pics it is tight but does fit. the hand guards are the stock rtx ones they work great and have taken some pretty good hits from branches. i think the windshield helps more than it looks like it would dont get me wrong its still a cold sled but i still love it.

Soul Hammer,
I was at the dealer yesterday and priced out the handguards- $94!
They told me you have to buy each piece seperate (the main bracket is like $26 for 1, $24 for the other, then the handle bar clamp, bolts, the cheapest item was the guard itself at $8)
Be getting them soon 'cause I know one of those PowerMadd's will move or break then I'll be kicking myself in the azz. Thanks for the info!
