TACHO ANYBODY?
I am in the need for a rev-counter. My previous bike a 11.000 RPM tops.... I take my Dyna and it is so smooth (no joke meant here) over 2-3.000 rpm that I don't really know what revs I'm doing or what gear I am in..forgive my inexperience with Harleys, but I have already been in a couple of tight situations when I see a clear road ahead, I start overtaking and as I am half way through and now vehicles are coming the opposite way, my engine suddenly missfires (overrevving) and I have to have the guts to put a higher gear to pull clearbefore I get my knickers in a twist.
I hate (no less than that) a tiny clock right in front or behind my bars; After such a lovely "Big Ben " on the tank, anything you install in front of it it just looks ridiculous (of course and always IMHO). The "Big Ben" with dual gauges is a solution but an expensive one and what is more, as you accelerate, you don't want to look down, but straight ahead, where everything is happening.
Anyway, I found this article in a dig. Mag, but cannot find the supplier. Can anybody help out with this one? Take a look at this link and tell me:

Thanks in advance,

I think you are absolutely right 
, couldn't track them down anywhere in the net. Pity...
There was however another supplier that I thought it was Kuryakyn who makes...or made a gauge (rev-counter) on a housing similar to the one Dakota Digital makes and with small square lights or diodes from green to orange to red.
Problem with the Dakota Dig. is 1.- it does not make it so obvious you are over-revving 2.- There is no easy way to fit it on stardard FXDC bars and 3.- for that price you might as well go for the dual gauge from H-D

Thanks Blaster, I thing I will keep trying for the other type; it's funny though how difficult it is to find something you've seen before but didn't want and when you need it you can't find it, however hard you try. I was just hoping someone else had this type of tach on their bike...
