2007 Softail Custom tach?
What options do I have for installing a round handlebar type tach? My dealer called H-D and they said they don't have a bracket yet for the 2 5/8" tach for the Custom. Anybody have any ideas?

RE: 2007 Softail Custom tach?
Harley does make a mounting for the tach. however when I tried to check it out I found that its not supposed to fit the 07's. Not sure why, no one can tell me. I was "told" that the mount won't fit properly but that didn't make any sense to me. The Custom does have a short, very shrot, set of risers. But the bolt spacing for them is still the same as other bikes with Wideglide atyle trees.
The part numbers that I figured out that might "fit" are;
Tach 2-5/8" Black Face 68953-04 $64.95
Tach Housing Cylindrical 67523-04 $49.95
Gauge Bracket 67676-04 $81.95
Billet Gauge Mount 67161-04 $50.95 or 67138-04 $88.95
The gauge mount is the part that has me confused. There is NO listing that I can find that specifically says its for an 07 FXSTC. The two listed above are for 96-later FXSTS, FLSTS, and FLSTSC (67161-04) and 00-later FXSTD, and FLSTN (67138-04).
They are both made to replace the two top handle bar clamps with a single one. They have the same symetrical (even) bolt pattern that the Customs have, but I haven't the slightest clue what the bolt spacing may be for the bracket.
Anyone have one of those bikes that we can measure it on?
In any event if you manage to figure something out please let me know as I have been unable to get any farther than I have. At least so far, but I haven't given up trying.

That's about where I got to. I also looked at:
Chrome Billet Mini Tach Mount Kit 68928-02A and Chrome Billet Mini Tach Mount 67848-00A
but I just can't tell what might fit. Maybe the mounts will fit but the tach hits the headlight because the risers are so short?
I'll keep looking and post if I come up with something.

I just installed the Dakota Digital speedometer/tach in my 06. It is great and has a lot of other features such as clock, 0 - 60 time etc. It looks great and was easy to install

Got any of it installed, and turned on?
