Default Bar Mounted Tach Options

I just picked up a 08 Street Bob and installed West Coast Tbar 12" MX Bars.

One thing that I would love to have is a tach.

What are the options?

I went with the microtach : http://www.speedwayinstruments.com/p.../products.html

It works great, I can see it in any light, it doesn't clutter things up, and it's inexpensive.

I have a Baron Customs tach I got off ebay used and pc'd black. One reason like it is because they have them for 1.25" bars. You can mount it on top or turn the face and mount it is under the bars if your bars are tall. They have different sizes with black or white faces.

I found a dakota digital on sale and went with that. I had my dad build a custom clamp to the risers and it turned out sweet.

I know you said bar-mounted, but have you considered a console mounted H-D Combined Speedo/Tach?
I fitted one on my FXDF and I'm very happy with it. Keeps clutter off the bars for a clean look.

I really like the Barons design. But want a bigger tach

In my search for gauges I found that I like the Dakota Digital #MCL-3204 3-3/8" Direct Plug-in for 2004-2011 Dyna and Sportsters Models

Now if I can only find a gauge pod that will fit the MCL-3204

This would mean that I have to do something about the dash too.

Default Tach

I have a 2.5" black Face tach I got from J And P- http://www.jpcycles.com/product/5600265 that I put on my 07 Street Bob. I fabbed up the mounts my self after the factory single point broke. It was very inexpensive and works great.

Check out these tachs - Procycle by Autometer.

I believe that Last saint is using one of their models on his current build. Pretty cool stuff.
