Ok I have a old school speedometer on my bike and don't like it being off center on the handle bars. I have some ideas on how to mount it, but wondering which size of these clamps to use.



The handle bars are your standard 7/8" bar, but the two sizes I can choose of these clamps is 3/4" and 1". Now I don't know if the given size includes the rubber covering or not. I plan on using two of these clamps and make a plate to go between them to mount the speedometer to and maybe a couple other things. So I need them to clamp tight to the bars so it stays where I want it.

Go with the 3/4". 1" might not close tight enough. By the way those are called Adel clamps.

Thanks Tom...

The bag of the ones I just used that I got from Lowe's called them Rubber Lined Clamps... hahaha

This is where I used them, for mounting my head light.

Looks good, drac. Those clamps have been around for years. You'll see them used in aviation applications a lot. They will do the job. Your headlight mount is great. Good work. :)

I like those clamps too, my local Ace has them for less than a buck so I like to use one to hold the back of the left side chain guard.
