| - | ===== 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. \\ | ||
| - | The biggest frustration is the angle of the stock mount that's used to mount onto the original handlebar clamp. \\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Parts (total of about $20): | ||
| - | * 2 chrome socket head screws. | ||
| - | * 2 chrome acorn nuts. | ||
| - | * 2 chrome washers. | ||
| - | * 2 chrome cable clamps for 1" (or whatever size your risers are). | ||
| - | * 2 small pieces of tubing. | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Place the tubing in the cable end of the clamp. | ||
| - | * Attach clamp to riser as shown below. | ||
| - | * Attach speedo using stock bracket (or any of your choice). | ||
| - | * Insert socket head screws w/ washers through stock bracket into hose in clamp. | ||
| - | * Secure with acorn nuts. \\ (the white stuff around the riser is some white electrical tape to prevent scratching) ((photos by ReddTigger of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=50229&page=2)) | ||
