Judging by the pictures you posted and the information you provided, it may not be grounded properly.

I had a mini tach on my 06 heritage. At high revs it was very inaccurate. Bounced all over the place. Not sure why, but the quality of the guage wasn't that great imho.

You need a gage to know when to shift? That's just wrong.
