Default Tach on Superglide

Has anyone installed a tach on their Superglide? With that speedo and handlebar clamp setup I haven't seen a speedo that would fit. Fishin for ideas.

Use a handlebar clamp from a 2004 model or buy one that will let you use the mount for the tach and speedo.

I would like a tach, i have thought about adding a monster tach (like in racecars) to one side, if there s aweather proof model. I have seen them on drag bikes, that doesn't mean they are waterproof [8D]

I have the same size tack as my speedo. You can buy the whole kit in chrome from harley. I pieced mine together becuase i got the tach so cheap off ebay. Here is a picture but not very good, it will give you an idea of the finished product.

I knida liked the setup you have on your custom. I see the handlebar clamp is recessed for the tach, what kinda parts you got there? Was eventually wanting to go with the taller bars. Very nice seetups everyone, just wish I was a innovative as ya'll.
