i wanna be able to bolt it down, or have a solid stay. last time i dropped the bike, the impact just ripped the gauges off.

I built a gauge stay out of flat bar for my F4i when i went acerbis and SF. Not that hard, especially if you have steel fork mounts for the headlight and not that rubber ziptie bullshit.

I put mine on top of the triple, in front of the dirt bars where the ignition switch goes, and I moved my ignition down into the frame on the right..

Re: how do u mount gauges on SF?
I went to home depot got flat stock whiped out the welder and sawzaw and created this and primed it . drilled 2 holes in my top tripple and mounted it.. One of the 3 mounting tabs on my gauges was broke and flopped around so i ziptied it to the mount I made to keep it sturdy for when I mouse trap wheelies.. haha I kid.. But yeah supper simple mabe took all of 45 mins to make.

...but i think it might get in the way of of deh acerbis.
and hate, i JUST noticed those gauges, dat looks like a sweet spot to put em, cause it looks like the cage will also keep it from getting hit, if i can't figure out a better way to put it on top, dats def. where i'll put it.
