I had a mount that was broken, so I cut it in half, sanded the edges smooth and mounted it under the tripple tree. I used the hole in the mount that was where the turn sig. light was. Just got a longer bolt and re-used the rubber dampers from the orig.

Still a work in progress. Made my own ducktail out of alum. sheet metal. A little rough for now, but I plan a complete tear down this winter to do all the finishing touches.

It might not be chrome? Might be polished aluminum there? Great show any way!!!

Thanks guys,I used paint stipper on the top tripple tree and then polished it at work, we have a tumbler.It has a steel media in a large drum that rotates and as the part tumbles around it gets polished.

Awesome, thanks for the info on the gauge mount. Mine was broken as well but I'll see if I still salvage it as you did. Excellent.
