#751343 bnag0 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1360 Any Mini Tachometer? 3 Years, 11 Months ago   Will any tach work with our bikes? I have never wired one up but it looks pretty straight forward. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-1-7-8-MINI-ELECTRIC-TACHOMETER-BLACK-FACE-TACH-FITS-HARLEY-MOTORCYCLE-GAUGE/271359918220?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222008%26algo%3DSIC.MOTORS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20645%26meid%3D5646812077960445971%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D9209%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D360843989246&rt=nc   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #751391 Big Bear (User) Who loves you , Baby? Platinum Boarder Posts: 7007 Re:Any Mini Tachometer? 3 Years, 11 Months ago   That one will work. Looks like the one I mounted to my Roadie bars with a Kury P clamp. Straight out of the Drag Specialties catalog.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #751449 BikerRon (User) Sour Kraut Platinum Boarder Posts: 4189 Re:Any Mini Tachometer? 3 Years, 11 Months ago   Not any tach will work on our bikes. They have to state 'Dual-Fire' compatible, as the R* engine plugs fire every revolution with a wasted spark. The one you linked does work. Easy to wire up. If you have, or are thinking about, risers this is a neat housing setup for the 1 7/8" tach for center mount on the bars. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=380464265335&globalID=EBAY-US http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/func,view/Itemid,187/catid,59/id,744163/ Here's a white face one. Offer him $60 and see if he bites. These have a cool, blue LED back light and is dual-fire wired for the R*. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Drag-Specialties-Mini-Tachometer-/321354899446?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ad23e9ff6&vxp=mtr Now, if you're content with a bar mount tach like you linked the 2.4" tachs are cheaper, but still the same guts. Just a tad larger. Here's a white face on the cheap. ( these won't fit the housing) http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=360824685186&globalID=EBAY-US That's all I got.   Logged     Last Edit: 2014/03/21 20:16 By BikerRon.   ' width='450' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #751502 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Any Mini Tachometer? 3 Years, 11 Months ago   These tachs are all the same they are Mi Tai or something like that. The Pro One and Barons are the same ones but they contract the company to put their name one the face plate but they are all the same. I have had 3 of them each with a different face plate but all the same tach. I am running the Barons right now and it has become the cheapest I have found. Like I said they are all the same tach. Check out the Baron's price VS others and you have a choice of face plate color for $69.95. http://www.baroncustom.com/catalog/category/24/index.html   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #751507 fxrshog (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 916 Re:Any Mini Tachometer? 3 Years, 11 Months ago   Curt wrote: These tachs are all the same they are Mi Tai or something like that.

Works perfect. Found the needle to be steady, no movement at all. Well pleased. Now watch it stop working tomorrow.   Logged     Last Edit: 2014/03/21 21:51 By fxrshog.   Don\'t worry about the mule going blind just load the wagon!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #751508 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Any Mini Tachometer? 3 Years, 11 Months ago   My first one got crushed in the wreck the second one was on my 07 that I sold and the third on is on my 05 now. Like you said nice and steady and works great it even sweeps like the speedo and gas gauge.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #751588 bnag0 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1360 Re:Any Mini Tachometer? 3 Years, 11 Months ago   Thanks for all the info guys. As far as location I'm not 100% sure. Was thinking something like this... trying not to crowd the bars of my bobber.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
