Question Adding a tach
I wanted to add a tach to my 06 superglide and could use some suggestions. Hd parts don't favor that year.

The bike has 4" risers with drag bars and a speedo mounted on the top of handlebars. I am open to all suggestions.

that is pretty cool. I like the speed and rpm recall, 0-60 time, 1/4 mile time and speed all that is good. It said 08 and up rocker though. I don't know if it would work.

I'm still looking at options for my Fat Bob ... have the Tach, but don't like the mount in the current CVO bike.

Like seeing the basset photos ... got six myself.

Sorry to get off topic, but bassets are fun dogs. They are like the clowns of the k9 world. That picture was taken when he was very sick, but it made a good picture.

I was thinking about maybe moving the speedo down between the risers and the tank and putting a tach on top. I was pretty sure I wanted a seperate tach but some of the combo ones are starting to look pretty good. If I am going to add a tach I want something that is easy to see and in the line of sight.

This is the way the bar set up looks now
