I am thinking to remove completely the tachometer from my 883 Iron but having doubts on consequences.
Does anybody have suggestions, warnings?

No consequences beyond not knowing what rpm your engine is turning. The rev limiter will prevent over revving. I took the tach off my project Sportster (below) and just stuffed the wire with plug up into the tank tunnel.
