It would be great to hear feedback after you get the flyscreen installed.

To those that have installed and ridden with the bracket installed. Is there any vibration, flex, or bounciness while riding?
Thank you
Thank you

So I installed it today. You reuse the 3 rubber gaskets inside the original speedo to attach the bracket so it will be the same as the original .

Are there installation instructions? Mine just came in!

I didn’t get any. I removed the two bolts on top of the current speedo mount (T15 I believe), make sure you have a 10mm wrench on the bolt on the bottom of the main two screws.
Removed the two torx screws (T10 or something I can’t remember) in the back of the speedo.
Separate the back of the speedo from the front.
Two sets of wires are there, both need the zip tie cut to detach from original mount.
Remove the three Phillips metal screws.
Remove the three rubber discs from the original mount and attach to the new plate.
The dual wire with the terminated/capped end doesn’t attach to anything on the new mount, just make sure it’s in between the speedo once it’s put back together it shouldn’t fall out… or find a way to attach it maybe with heat glue. I didn’t bother.
Put the original T15s in and you should be set.

Who needs instructions when you do this! Thank you very much !!

Ok all done. Took about 35 minutes with me being slow and careful. (Next up is the Dart screen, whenever it gets here)
Before, after and rear shots are attached. I made sure that the loose cable protruded out the back housing.

Yeah good idea those factory bolts are a bit long.
What is the measurement from edge of the for crown to the top edge of the gauge?

Bear in mind there are two angles there or do you want a straight line?
Just a straight line.

It's actually 172 / 3 as the bezel turns out.
Thank you!

Quick feedback: I took a ride last night with the new speedo mount. Two things: 1. It is so much better to have it centred (at least for us OCD types), and 2. More importantly, the angle! The angle of the speedo is just so much better, no glare and it's almost like it's been custom-designed to fit my body 
Well done!! Love it.
