I would love a tach, but I will have to go with the two in one Tach/Speedos that HD sells, on my SuperGlide Custom. I was torn between the Low Rider and the Custom and finally went with the Custom because I like having the key on top of the tank, hated the bikes I've had that the key was on the neck. Your mod looks cool!!!

Damn, now the secrets out..................

Seriously tho, the tach on the tank console is one of the features that drew me to the lowriders.

I must admit that JRK has a good point. I have done this mod also about a year ago and dam it is awesome. The job was not hard, parts were not bad price (at least for me, found online used). For what I paid for parts and the time to install, it was more than worth it.
PS Joe, bike is looking sweet!
