Anyone want to make a speedo bracket?

[danfr]

i plan on removing the tach and moving the indicator lights, so i'll need a new bracket made up for just the speedo.

anyone interested?

they are actually pretty easy to make - the ones i made are in my build thread

yea man, super easy. If you've got a jig saw with a metal bit your halfway there.

yeah....i don't have any real tools. where's macgyver when you need him.

You can get a jigsaw at home depot that will do the job for about 40 or 50 dollars. Probably cheaper than getting the bracket made by someone, and then you get a new tool on top of the deal

boy how you expect ta build a bike with no tools?

kidding aside, an angle grinder can be you best friend. super versatile and quite handy when working with metal.

i searched everywhere for them! i went to a few auto parts stores, two marine shops and online. finally found them randomly at a hardware store by my machinist. they fit perfectly into the rubber handlebar holders. let me know if you want me to pick any up for ya. i think they were around $7 bucks. you can always pay a bit more for carpy's. his are wired with bullet connectors.

If you're in Toronto, Honson/Home Hardware at College/Spadina has some nice LED jobbies with mounts and all for $1.50.
