Roland Sands

Anybody tried the Roland Sands pull back riser (29mm taller, and 38mm back than stock) and gauge relocater? They are solid mount vs. but I doubt vibration is an issue.

I find the Guage to be too low when riding and whilst looking for a solution I happened upon the Jeniusbiker thread K9 linked. With the price of the RSD unit, I wondered if there is another/cheaper way of relocating the Guage unit.
If you take the stock riser clamps, flip them over and bolt the unit the wrong way round, it pushes the unit out a bit further than what the RSD one seems to. All I would want to add to this mod is a little angle bracket to tilt it up a bit. Not sure how it would fit with a screen though.

Thanks K9F. I may give this a try, the rid command is not good stock for easy visibility not to mention getting the key in and out is a bit tight.

My Indian Chief has its speedo mounted on top of the fuel tank. I didn't initially think too much about this, but when I need to check my speed, I'm not looking where I'm going.

IMHO, the higher the speedometer sits, the better.

Got to ask - How did you get the wife to agree to the knobby tire plant holder?

I 3D printer my own for my RR, even included the USB socket

Haha. Every time I change tires she tells me not to ditch the ones.

(next project, a painted snake in our yard, yes, from tires 😉)

I took inspiration from bad obsession motorsport and made a bracket!
All I want now to finish it is a blanking plate like you have @Max Kool. Is yours just plastic? how did you fix it?

 

[Max Kool]

Just a piece of black plastic. I cut a small slot in it so it clips to the connector.

Very McGuyver but does the job. And doesn’t look too ungly from a distance.

What material did you use, PLA, PET-G, ABS??

Trialled it with PLA then used PET-G with only 50% infill. The ideal was to have a bit of tilt adjustment but its tucked in so tight there wasnt much. The angle is fine as is. I didnt use the metal mounting frame so the weight is reduced and it sits much lower. The cover is a bit square and clunky but wanted to provide some weather protection for the connector. You need to buy some longer M6 mounting bolts and some bolts for the brackets.

Had to go and look up McGuyver.
TBH never watched it before.

But i get it now!
