i want to get a really basic small tach for the sportster. anyone have a source for any deals?
thanks

 

Plenty of options. Do you have the HD accessories catalog? If not, most of it can also be found at http://www.harley-davidson.com

 

Try speedway instrument.com. They make a digital small enough to fit on the front master cylinder.

HD makes a 2" Mini Tach that has the same face as the stock speedo. It blends together as a set when it's all mounted up. It's still not small when it's in the can and mounted but it looks pretty good.

 

anybody have pics?

 

Here's the link for Speedway if you want a digital tach. http://www.speedwayinstrument.com/Products.html

I purchased one of Speedway Instruments' tachs when they first came out with it. they have since provided the chrome-cased version which I just received and it really looks sharp. But unless you point it out to people, or turn it on, no one even notices it there -- blends in very nicely.

Now if you're just local cruising or bar-hopping then it's a nice to have, though I was managing quite well without it. But I spend last week charging around the twisties of western North Carolina (Deals Gap, Cherohala Skyway, Blue Ridge Parkway, etc) and it was a godsend. Having that very visible tach to have the right RPM to pull out of corners in the right gear was really, really handy. Sure, I could have done it without a tach, but it depending on the sound of the engine wasn't all that practical. That thing was worth every penny spent.. Yeah, I like it!!
