#300029 tykesplace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 628 Idea for tach placement 1 Year, 9 Months ago   I had this weird idea today and I'm wondering what you will all think about it. I've been wanting to add a tach to my bike but I don't really like the look of one bolted to the handlbars. I'm thinking that if I could find one small enough that could be made to fit in the ignition key space in the dash. I'd then relocate the ignition key and seat release to some unobtrusive location. I dont know if this would even work, but who knows. Any ideas?   Logged     Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard of Montana   The administrator has disabled public write access. #300031 rick8mitch (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 537 Re:Idea for tach placement 1 Year, 9 Months ago   womdered that my self.....or modifing the dash and tank to fit below the speedo..... not too keen on the handlebar set up either   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #300034 old dog (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1601 Re:Idea for tach placement 1 Year, 9 Months ago   I have this, http://www.pro-one.com/Tach_Kits_for_Stock_Risers_s/230.htm bill   Logged     110 cu in., PR/JE 10.25:1 HC pistons, PR Cam, PR adjustable push rods, PR stage II ported heads (2mm oversize valves)   The administrator has disabled public write access. #300042 Scotto (User) Hmmmm Platinum Boarder Posts: 1576 Re:Idea for tach placement 1 Year, 9 Months ago   old dog wrote: I have this, http://www.pro-one.com/Tach_Kits_for_Stock_Risers_s/230.htm bill I have the 3370. The one at the top. Works great, the light is not too bright. Easy install. I use it more than my speedo.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/08/03 06:00 By Scotto.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #300043 moreland4 (User) Chrome ain't for sissies Platinum Boarder Posts: 1306 Re:Idea for tach placement 1 Year, 9 Months ago   +1 on the 3370.

If you take off your dash you will see there is a lot of room under there. I had visions of a plate to cover it flush with the tank and build the gauges in to it. I ended up putting in a MotoGadget Motoscope Mini which pretty much disappears mounted to the handlebar and its speedo/tach/odo/trip: http://picasaweb.google.com/takehikes/Chopped05BlackCherry#5487966005341536578   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #300194 Scotto (User) Hmmmm Platinum Boarder Posts: 1576 Re:Idea for tach placement 1 Year, 9 Months ago   nightstar57 wrote: old dog,the pro one site has some nice tach's ..do you have to drill any holes to mount those..??I mean holes for the wiring,of course.. I can answer that... nope. You can see it on my profile page pic. Easily attaches to the L/H coil, a ground wire and run the wires through the existing clutch cable stays and a little spot-tie to keep the wire tight.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/08/03 17:51 By Scotto.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
