Looks good. Make sure you have enough room for it to move with the steering and not contact the dash housing. I don't think you have stock type risers and handlebars, so not sure how much room you have.

Nicely done!-

Funny thing about tachs.

If I'm on a bike that has one, I find myself glancing at it all the time. If I'm on a bike without one, I never feel like I miss it.

yeah I get that a tach is not for everyone keep in mind my bike is a 4 banger Plus when I'm driving my car or truck I find myself looking at the tach quite often.

I was pretty meticulous when measuring everything to make sure it swings right past the dash there is plenty of clearance ,the closest point is when the handlebars are straight.
the dash cannot be removed while the tach is bolted in place ,that is the only catch.

Not having a milling machine at my disposal I took the easy road and used a couple of round spacers I picked up at ACE Hardware under the bracket . They fit perfectly also
