Speedo relocation Bracket

I also made my own.It is not in the way at all.

You guys are working too hard. Turn the stock mounting bracket upside-down. It is soft enough that you can bend to your liking. It will be the same as the mounting bracket on the original post.

Yep I'm with patty jack and prav, works great. doesn't it!

Got that right, and It looks great too!

I think doing that works if you dont have a windshield. I think the mounting brackets are in the way.

 

[PattyJack]

yeah, i believe people have had trouble with it using the windshield?

Here's away to use the yamaha pod protection bracket and still use your stock windshield. I used two pieces of aluminum tubeing 2.75 inches long(so i could route my cables and wiring in the stock location)..you'll have to get two 3 or 4 inch long metric bolts that are the same thread as the stock bolts...works perfect and i think this is how yamaha should of engineered this from the factory.

then they wouldnt get any ones money for the windshield bag

I just flipped the stock bracket over and bent it up a little and it fits just fine.

Can you still see it while sitting?

 

[prozac500]

Yes you can see the speedo when your sitting.

Did the same thing with mine. Just flipped it and trimmed it up a little and it worked great.

Hey Zook, what did you use for a bracket to mount the instruments on the dash/tank cover? I was thinking in that direction. It looks great. A picture from the side would really show it off.

 

[zook]

I turned the riser around and made a new bracket to mount the pod to.

i havent had a problem w where mine is. why dont u guys like it the way it is from yamaha?

 

[Ruckus]

Because when you flip it over it will break since it is the highest point on the sled. The Nytro has it in a good spot.

 

[fraolib]

o i c. well i have a 3in riser so my handlebars are above my pod.

Zook, thanks for the side shot, looks like you bolted your bracket to the riser. any issues when you swing the bars for a turn? Doesn't hang out over the side of the fuel tank?
