Im considreing getting bars like these...

but I'm unsure of what to do about the speedo. Any ideas?

A little bit of info on the bike they would be going on would be helpful.

he's posting in the M50 section.....

Rodney, do you know what the measurments are from post to post there in the middle? Might want to contact where you found that at and see if they can give that to you. It's possible you'd still be able to mount the speedo in the same spot.

He is posting in the M50 section as I am aware, but it is also listed for Marauders and if I am wrong I apologize, but aren't there differences in styling between those models and also years, such as an 05 M50 vs a 01 Marauder for example.

The M50 has more in common with the Volusia/C50 than it does with Marauder 800 it replaced. Reading his past posts indicates his bike to be a M50, but it would be nice if it could be listed on the profile as well.

Now then, about the speedo, do you still want it mounted on the bars or would a tank mounted speedo do? If it's the latter, I've read posts on C50 tanks bolting up on the M50.

you could get a digital speedo !!!!!!! small one mounted on top of bars could look sharp !

would a digital hook into the existing mag pickup installed on the bike? i though about this too. i would like to put the oil/ temp lights in the gas tank cover and go digital

Yeah, a digital speedo would be nice.... not sure what to do with the odometer function though.... I don't really want to end up with a "not actual mileage" brand on the title if i decide to sell the bike in a few years.
