Default looking for mini tach recomendations

So I'm planning on getting a mini tach for my 2010 fxd and i'm looking for recommendations. I'm planning on using this style bracket





my question is about the gauge itself. i'm looking for a backlit gauge that matches my factory speedo relatively well. speedo looks like this





I know i most likely won't be able to get one with a brushed aluminum face like the factory speedo but i'd settle for a black face gauge as long as it doesn't have a huge drag specialties logo on it. I'd like the gauge to have similar hash mark design to the factory so it blends in relatively well.

looking for recommendations or if anyone has one let me know as i'd buy it

Out of curiosity, how easy is it to install a tach on dyna harleys?
I'm also wanting to add a small tach around the handlebars, somewhere higher than the speedo dash display on the fuel tank so I dont have to look down all the time.
I nearly splashed for a motogadget unit on my triumph but the install seemed quite complicated hooking up numerous wires to a canbus system that the triumph had.

Yea the Dakota Gauges are nice but I'm looking to keep the analog look.

I have found that HArley makes a 2" tach (part # 67564-05A) that is readily available for about $100 and would install easily given that the instructions are for my bike but I'd really like to use a mount like the one pictured where i can tuck the tach at the bottom of the clamp. that mount is made for a 2 5/8" gauge though so I'll either have to make a mount or try to fab that one to work, ahhhhh decisions.

input welcome!

I realize it's not what you asked for so feel free to throw the idea out, but have you looked at the 4" tach/speedo combo from Harley?
It's both the speedo and tach in one unit (with some additional farkles like gear indicator).

looks like they only make the combo gauge in 5" for my 2010 FXD, I have the 4" gauge on my bike
