Hello everyone, I recently converted my 2007 FZ6 to a naked, but I would like some photos of the speedometer mount because I can't seem to find any online. If anyone is kind enough and has access to where the mount is actually holding and everything. In addition any other people who converted to a naked and made their own mounts I would love to see some ideas in order how to proceed. Thank you all in advance!

I'm going to have to dig into that link more.
When I got mine, I have what appears to be a standard FZ1 mounting bracket, rigged up to fit. There was some form of sheet metal fabricated to be attached to the bracket to hold the instrument cluster. There was no vibration elimination so after a few 10 thousand miles, it had succumbed to metal fatigue and started to break apart.
I replaced it with another piece I fabricated with some aluminum commercial roofing flashing. I was able to add some vibration reduction, but it is not free completely, so It does rattle on some of the regular hard bumps and will probably eventually succumb to the same fate. I don't really have any pics that show the fabricated piece well, or the mounting bracket at the moment. Maybe I'll get some next time I take anything apart in that area. These are the closes I have.
I've seen that there are bracket, headlight, turn signal kits available on Amazon. They follow the look of the FZ6 headlight with the middle top being pointed up, if you like that look.

Thankyou for the reply really appreciated! The mounting system that I'm using now is very similar to this one you attached, the problem is I want it to be at the stock position where it's front of the ignition. I might do a custom one similar to the one bryancraftyhands has posted. I do have the tools and everything I need to get a better idea where to mount it and all. Thankyou again both for the replies!
