Tach Suggestions
I need to install a tach on my road king. I thought a lot about the combo tach/speedometer, but I thought that when I need to see my tach the last thing I want to do is to look down toward my tank.
I looked at the harley nacelle mounting, but it looks like it might eliminate the space for my windshield bag - does it? So that leaves the handle bar mount - but I'm not sure how that would look or would fit behind the windshield.
I'd like to hear from anyone who has experience installing a tach on their road king. What's worked best. Suggestions on tachs that read easy and are durable - etc.
Thanks

I have a speedo/tach on my 07 FLHRS and I use it every once in a while. I don't like to take my eyes off the road all that much, but I look down more times to check the six gear light then the speedometer or tachometer. Most of the time I ride by ear, and the gear that I am in, when it is clear I will look down at the speedo/tach to keep things legal.

To the OP, if you decide to go handlebar mount, I have a brand, in the box, billet mount and chrome tach housing. Was waiting on the tach, and changed to the combo.

I had some engine work done along with a different exhaust and I don't know how it should sound or feel when it I hit the peak of the torque curve. I think I shift too early and want to get the most from the build.

They have a tach on the police road kings, infront of handle bars I think. You can still have a windshield pouch. Look at a police bike and I would think yopu could order one like theirs.
