Your best bet may simply be an A pillar pod, its a direct change with the standard item and wouldnt require and drilling or other random screws

and easy to put back to normal in no time atall.

How about on top of the steering cowl??

Like mine





When in a normal sitting position you do loose slight sight of the speedo, but do you really need to be looking at your speed between 0-20mph?

You can also rebuild the bananapod, but that means chop chop
