RE: Mini Tach for FXSTC
If you got the money to get a new bike I would buy a combination tach, speedo in one unit.
Tach buy itself kinda uglies up the front end, and I would think is distracting.
You gonna be going that fast that you really think that you need one?

None taken. Tach works on bike, speedo works with mileage indicator and clock, and HD doesn't make a bracket (yet!). Well, I gotta say it.
WE WANT THEBRACKET AND WE WANT IT, NOW! ....now? ... NOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!
Seriously, I want a tach up there on the bars where I can see it. I think it looks good there. I don't get it. But Harley is like, noooo, you don't get a bracket (yet!). Youmay never get one. When we get around to it. Dunno, do we have any chrome left? These are some nice grips. Have you seen the new models?
ARRRGH! ("Beats head against wall.")
Gee Stretch, you're fun to watch. We have donuts this weekend. Wanna take a survey? How bout a free t-shirt?

My hearing isn't all that well 'tuned' to accuratly judge how fast its turning over. Hell to be honestI'm getting older and my hearing isn't that good anymore.
Nowconsideringmy last bike had ared line that was somwhere above10,000rpm. I don't think it would be all that smart totwist the crank on this bike anywhere near that.
So until I can tellwhat my engine is doing within a couple of hundred rpm's by ear. I'll stick to keeping atach on my bike.
Besides I think it looks nice on the bars I have, and isn't that what we're all after, make a bike our own?

Absolutely. I kind of like the retro appeal of it too. Makes it look to me more like a bike of the period it resembles. Besides, after a while, you can tell how you are going by glancing at the tach instead of the speedo. And you don't have to look away from the road.
Keeping an eye peeled for the P&A for spring.

That's not as funny as you think. I ordereda set of Diamondback cables/lines for the bike but screwedup and ordered the stock lengththinking they would be fine.
Unfortunatly the're at least3" or 4" too longfor the bars I'm using, so I am going to have to get another set and they ain't cheap.
Anyone looking for aset of Diamondbacks for the stock mini apes?

I also have an 08 and just mounted the 2 5/8 mini tach on my bars and also had to cut down the bracket. Had to remove about .100 from each side of the bracket to get it between the clamps. Not being an electrical guy my problem is the wiring. Where do these 3 wires go? I have a black, red and yellow wire. Any help would be apreciated
