Default What tacho?

Thinking about installing a tacho when the bike comes back from the shop and wondered what you guys have installed?

Going to fit fat bob bars and risers so looking for ideas? (don't want to spend the $$ on the replacement combined speedo/tacho)

If you don't need the traditional round tach look, many use the microtach, plenty of places to hide it away.

I've seen a couple of these

This will mount on your fork stem

and these:

I was thinking about one of these Barons

If you are you using the fatbob riser bar clamp, it has an extra piece between the risers.

Here' some more ideas.

+1 on microtach from speedway. Great product, easy to integrate, and amazing customer service.

took the HD mini tach and mounted it to the risers. Works great.
