Default Tachometer

Hey all
I have an 06 Xl883L
I ride it like a bike is meant to be ridden but really need a tach
Is there a speedo tach combo out there or what have u guys done?
Being new to these bikes do u use mph as shift points?
I am trying not to spend a whole lot of cash on this bike and am looking for the forums advice
Thanks Again
Shiny side Up!!!

Does anyone know of a rpm to mph calculator for the 883? I tried googling, actually found a link to this forum but the chart was missing.

Damn, cHarley, you are the best! The chart is great. You obviously have a wealth of knowledge. Much appreciated.
