Mounting a speedometer to a bike with a Springer?

[Retro Flutter]

So I really want to add a speedometer I picked up to my 1962 Skyrider but I'm using a repop monarch Springer on it. I'm having clearance issues with it. The axle mounted bit won't fit, due to the springers hardware being in the way. Any suggestions or pics of Speedometer setups with a Springer?

I am using a more modern MTB hub based front wheel as well. It's got tabs to mount a brake rotor to, so I got that to work with, if I need to make or modify something.

I know I can get a modern digital one that's wireless and slap it on but just wouldn't look right. (I have one on my Specialized Allez).

I just ran one on my Western Flyer. I had to face the wheel mechanicals downward. Which meant limited amount of options for the length of cable I had, in regards to placement.

Any shots of the mechanism on the wheel?

Most people carry one in their pocket anymore.

The vintage ones are great, but too noisy for me. I have a few and on occasion add them to a build for a little while. Now I know how to get one on a springer
