Default Monster tach install ideas

Ok. So I got a autotronix tbar guage mount

What are ideas to mount a 5" tach to it

Don't want the 5" tach to shake like crazy from flimsy metal so how could I mount it so its rigid.

Is the back of a 5" gauge the same size as a harley tach. Meaning I could use a standard size guage mount and bolt it to the autotronix mount?

Shoot some ideas out there

I don't see that particular kit you mention, but if you haven't bought it yet, why not use one of the HD combo gauges in 4", with the HD gauge bracket? I put one on my old FXD using a LA choppers t-bar bracket and the HD single gauge cup and it was rock solid.

I think a 5" gauge might look a little goofy hanging off the front of T's...

Plus, the HD gauge downloads your mileage and marries to the ecm so no dealer could ever give you a hard time about "questionable" mileage if you go trade in...

I'll get some proper links up for reference

I'm looking just for rpms. No speedo or combo unit. Just a big old 5" tach.

Looking for the mount like this. Pro comp has a different looking mount. But. I think I can buy this mount and make it work

I'll just got with a cheaper tach. That kit is to pricey

The 2 links a few posts before have a 5" tach shown. The pictures are of a screaming eagle 5" tach
