Tach in Billet Mount 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
Anybody have the tach and billet mount for the R* from Pro-One Performance? It looks like what I want but I have seen comments that the chrome may not be the best quality. Would like input on experiance with their product and quality. Any other suggestions? Here is the link http://www.pro-one.com/803370_Tach_Kit_p/803370.htm

I've got one. So far the chrome seems great.

There has also been much discussion on the RSC with respect to dual-fire vs. single-fire ignition. You may have seen some of it if you've done any searches here for Tach's. The unit from Pro-One was a simple plug and play.

Another thing that it does, which I wasn't expecting, is that is does the 'sweep' when you turn on the ignition just like the speedo and fuel gauge. Doesn't really mean anything, I just thought that was knida cool.

Make sure you get the right one for your year as the risers are different between the 03 and older and 04 and newer.

Good luck

Edit: Just saw...you have the right one selected...you should be able to get it for less. Try Cruisercustomizing.com

Thanks for the input. CC has it for about $25 less and Chrome Addiction has it for $38 less. Thanks again for the heads up!

I have the black faced one for 3 yrs, the chrome is 2nd to none, When I had the bike on the dyno last year it was within 50 rpm. I know some might tell you all tac's are made in china so cheap out. It's a class product and does not bounce around at low rpms.

Not to ninja the thread, but is there a speedo like that? Been wanting to replace mine with a clock or just get rid of the dash (reflects too much for me).
