Default Handlebar mount tach

Am considering adding a tach but don't want to spend the coin on the tach/speedo combo. Seems like the bar mount tachs I've seen are for 1" bars. Any of you mount one on 1 1/4" bars? If so, what kind and how do you like it. Thanks.

if your 08 and like my 07 it has 1.25 in bar and the clamp mount type wont fit because the bolts are not spaced even

Not sure which bolts your referring to, I've got streetslammers on my bike now, so no riser bolts if that's what you mean.

i mean handle bar clamps but if you changed the bars then you wont have the clamp the stock has. i was looking to a tach mount at a reasonable price but cant find one so no tach for me

any good machine shop will fabricate any bracket you can give them dimensions for.Most good shops have CNC capability these days and aren't as expensive as a lot of people think.Nice having some one off stuff on your bike also.
