Default Rocker Tach Bracket----Help!!!

Has anyone found or made up a tach bracket for their Rocker? Looking at mounting a 2 5/8 mini tach and I need some ideas on how to make or where to buy a bracket that will fit in the bar clamp!!
Thanks.

the stock handle bar clamps that come with the rocker suck. they are hideous, it's pretty much impossible to mount anything to them.

here is what i'm doing. i got me some apes and i'm just gonna mount the tach right to the bars.

Don't like the combo tach. I'm going for the hot rod look, I've found a bracket that will work, parts are on order!!
