My tach is same place as police bikes,above the handle bar mount,the perfect spot for it.Especially banging the gears tucked in,the tach is in your face.

Default RE: tach ???

You know I never even think twice about it, but both of my bikes have a tach, and I wouldn't have it any other way. On my SE-Deuce they mounted the tach just above the bar clamp, and on my Street Glide....well you know where that one is. I dont know, but I guess coming from a sport bike background, I have always had a tach on my bikes. I have a tach in my Ford Bronco. For me its just another tool to gauge to monitor your engine. The only other place I would think would not be too awkward for a tach would be right in the speedo on the console...I know HD sells a speedo/tack combo that looks sort of cool.....other than that I guess you would have to just go on the bar clamp like this.

I bought this tach off ebay last year. It works great and is part of the handle bar clamp so it's pretty stealth.
