Default Custom Tach Mount in Dash

I swear I remember someone relocating their ignition and putting a small tach there. I tried using the search but couldn't find anything. Was I dreaming?

I don't know if you were dreaming or not. After looking at the space available around and under the ignition switch, I dont think there is enough room. The guage would have to very shallow to allow the wiring to hook up and not rub/short out on the tank. Why not look into the Tach/Speedo Combination guage available at the dealer? Just a thought.

Lundee did the mod you are talking about. He put a mini tach where the ignition switch was.

Yeah, I talked to him a while ago. Cool mod, not at the top of my list for now.
