Default Tach Pic

Here's a pic of the Tach Suzuki sells. You will have trouble mounting it if you have the Suzuki windshield on but with a little reworking to the windshield bracket you can make it so they don't touch.

Wow that looks out of place.

Suzuki is making it way too complicated. All bikes and cars should have a tach, especially if they're standard...which all bikes are. Suzuki should take a look at Toyota's endeavors with the Altezza. The tack, speedo, fuel, and temp readins are all placed in a single round bezel mounted inside the dash. It's very compact and efficient, and a similar setup would work great on a bike.

Default C50T Tach

Been thinking about getting a Tach also, but would also like a windshield bag, OEM accessories won't let you have that combo, so thinking of this one.........http://baronscustom.com/html/catalog...0-42C7B5B38AFE
What do you folks think???

Default Cobra Tach

I just ordered the Cobra tach from Oneida Suzuki (good price)

Cobra Tach
I kind of like the placement better then the Suzuki OEM one, especially if you have to mess with the windshield. The other one SUB SONIC MINI TACH mounted on the brake reservoir would be totally out of place IMHO.
