Thought most people here could read.

Sure we can, but we're lazy, and even though I managed to snag the pic below, it doesn't show us what it looks like on the bike

Looks awful on the bike.  Gage looks great, but everything it's bolted to is another issue.
Wrecked dual sported rebuilt bike.
Round gage bolted to the bar clamps.
If I don't have a hangover in the morning, I might take a picture.

I think my bicycle computer is the same size.  Looks to me it should be called Squintwell!

I have the 2701 model (same gauge just with less idiot lights) on my GN250. I got the housed version and mounted it using a bicycle seat post reflector bracket around the ignition barrel. This put the gauge where I wanted it and also gave it built in angle adjustment so I could get it just right.

Here's a couple of pics of it installed.. I still need to tidy up the mounting of the stock gear indicator but it gives you an idea of what the gauge looks like on a bike.

         

I've never had any issues viewing it in daylight, perhaps it's an angle thing?

Im thinking it would look alot better mounted here right on the top triple, try it and post a picture as I will be taking this pic down in a  week or two. Even though it will be a little off center it will still be closer to the bars and look alot better than stickin out there like a sore peter...

3962 is what cstilt has, and it possibly is squint well as well, but its possibly 2 X as large as this.

The stock IMHO, looks as nice a DDD boobies on a skinny ass chick.
Cool.

Apparently, I'm not smart enough to attach pictures.

I have the 2803 on the forward bolt of the right bar clamp.
It is a small gage, but all I need to see normally is the tach sweep.

Because:
I mount GPS to the left, easier to reach on the run.
It tucks it in tighter and clears the handlebar cross bar if I crash out.
The old instrument mounts are carrying the Acerbis lights.

Parts
Stud or long cut off bolt that gives full depth of thread engagement in bar mount.
Bolt spacer cut off just tall enough so nut clears top of clamp, to cover for former SHC.
Flange nut, flange facing up, torqued to bar bolt load.
Rubber damper on flange nut.
Gage
Nyloc nut.

Just snug down Nyloc, so there is still some cushion in the damper.

i ran mine off the ignition/lock
if yours are bolted on (or you may have to break the rivet and get a screw) slip it between the triple and ignition and shim the otherside with a small washer to match.

since my ignition is now offset, i had to use another strip of metal but mounting is easy if you have any shred of creativity or knowledge in taking stuff apart.
