Default Tach

Looking to install a tach, but have an 08 FXDB so my options are limited. Wondering what people with the 08 bob are using, pics would help.

Thanks

Sick, my issue is more with the mount, since I have integrated risers on the 08 mounting options are almost non-existent. Don't know why HD opted for that set up

I know it sucks that harley intergrated the risers in 08.
In that case I would probably go with the set up that bberck has. Or you can get a lowrider dash. That way you'll have the tach in the dash.
