This tachometer? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Does anyone know if this will work with an 03. I know it says specifically for the 1700...but I like this one because is the same riser clamp that I have. Does anyone have this specific tach? I was also looking at pro one.

Or this one...I don't really car about the lighted part. I don't ride a whole lot at night...and even then It's not like I have to have one.

Both should work, first says 04 up, second says v star 2 cyl. The cheap would do the trick

I would contack the first one, could be a typo.

They both will work and they are made by the same company and are the same tach. Baron's has the same tach as well they are made by a China company and just have face plates done for the company that is selling them. They are Yia Tin or something like that and I have the black face on my 07 and the Baron's white face on my 05. The first one you are paying extra for the fancy mount.

Nothing wrong with that one I can make a polished SS bracket to fit your stock risers that looks like it is a factory job.

Ahh man Curt if you could do that I'd be very greatfull. I would love for it to be in the center, I just won't pay the $200 + to buy it with the bracket.

So if I get the $45 one should I just have it sent to you to make the bracket?? How much?

Oh and do you need me to send you my stock riser for help with measurments??

I'm not sure the first one would have worked for you...maybe someone else can confirm this, but the top handlebar clamp is a different configuration on the '04+

What I'm not sure of is whether or not the hole centers are the same dimension as the 99-03's.

Sounds like you are going a different route now anyway, but something to think about. AT

No need to send it to me I have one that came off my wrecked 05 that doesn't work that I can use as a template. I do need you to take the top off your risers and trace around it on a piece of paper or thin cardboard. Measure the distance between the bolts and write it down for me give me the distance from one side on the right hand set of bolts.

Will do Curt. Thanks again. PM me with your address and I will just send the tracing in an envelope on a piece of paper.
