Default Which Tach ?

Lemme get some input on Tachs, preferably with a shift light. Running into alot of 11K RPM tachs - and 6/8 cyl only.
May be going to risers and drag bars again - just a little higher this time.
If you got mounting pic's - show em if ya got em'.

If you want something small and simple (no shift points), try the micro tach. I have had mine for 3 years and still bright. http://www.speedwayinstruments.com/

Microtach is the only way to go. It has an integrated shift light. The readout flashes when you reach redline. You can mount it anywhere, but I made a bracket to mount it on my top tank bolt so you can see it when glancing at the speedo.
