If you want a tach that is actually useful, you need to get one on your handlebar. There are top clamp mounts, like on the Police Road Kings, that get the tach up where you can see it when riding. I have a HD tach/speedo combo and it's useless when winding out the gears, unless you want to look straight down which isn't too wise when winding out the gears!

If you want to use a windshield bag, the top clamp mount *might* be in the way, although I see guys doing it. As an alternative, I had Drag Specialties tach on a regular handlebar clamp on my Road King and it was reasonably effective, it wasn't directly in my line of sight but I could glance slightly down and see it so it was useful. Unlike the tank mounted combo tach/speedo.

 

Good idea! Reminded me that I have a PV sitting on the workbench. That would be perfect for him. Just need to buy the cable for a 2017 and have a tach and a bunch of other stuff can be monitored.

 

For those guys who replied to help me out. I have my tach installed. Just what I wanted. Here is a pic....

Thanks again for your help.
