Default Fat Bob with mini tachometer

Anyone install a mini tachometer on the FXDF? I can see one on the CVO but I would like to see a picture of a mini on a FXDF.

Thanks~

Default MiniTach from Speedway instruments

Forgot to post the pix.

Install pretty straightforward, but make sure you've got good light to see the wire colors so you get the right bundle to splice into.

Works great

I think so. I've got that on my wish list. I plan to stick it to the front brake master cylinder.

You can also fab a small L bracket and mount it off of your tank bolt. Pretty easy to hook up with the piggy back connectors in the kit.

Thanks, it was pretty straightforward. I didn't want to mess with internally wiring the tach from the master cylinder, and didn't have enough flat area on the tree between the risers, so that seemed like a good spot. I was tempted to stick it on or in the dash, but didn't want to cut in case I didn't like the results. I fabbed the bracket out of my leftover stock air cleaner. Just cut a small plate out of the edge and bend it to an L.
