-====== Headlight Eyebrow Mounted Gauges ====== 
- 
-===== The Zena Mod ===== 
-This is a relatively easy mod to raise the height of your instruments (when using taller risers). \\ 
-Otherwise, the gauges end up being too tall. \\ 
-The gauges are removed from the handlebar mount and bolted to the headlight eyebrow using deep chrome sockets. \\ 
-Cost is under #10. Done carefully, it looks like a factory install. \\  
- 
-  * Parts required: 
-    * (2) - chrome 8mm deep sockets (may be able to use other sizes) 
-    * (4) - stainless steel washers 
-    * (2) - 3" stainless steel allen bolts, \\ (same diameter as stock but longer to fit sockets accordingly. 3" bolts used below). 
- 
-  * Note: This mod should work without a hitch on the 883 std and 1200R. \\ 
-    * In some instances, folks have reported that the spacing between the holes on the gauge mount \\ did not line up perfectly with the holes on the eyebrow. 
-    * Most were able to quickly remedy the problem with a dremel or other comparable tool. \\  
-    * The mod will not work on stock 1200/883 Custom models without additional modification. ​

-====== Riser Mounted Gauges ====== 
-===== The ReddTigger Mod ===== 
-Speedo Mount for pullback risers. \\

-    * 2 chrome socket head screws. 
-    * 2 chrome acorn nuts. 
-    * 2 chrome washers.

-    * 2 small pieces of tubing. 
- 
-   * Place the tubing in the cable end of the clamp.

-   * Attach speedo using stock bracket (or any of your choice). 
-   * Insert socket head screws w/ washers through stock bracket into hose in clamp.
