I've always had a tach and am considering mounting one on the bars between the risers, which are PhatII. Does anyone know if the Barons Bullet mini-tach will clear the risers (as it seems to need 3" of space)?? It seems like it would, but I'd like to hear from someone with that setup, or any other ideas for a small analog tach to mount between the PhatII's. HEre's a link to the Baron's tach, which looks nice:

YES !! As you can see from my picture of my bike. It has the
Phat II risers and a Barons tack. It's tight, but doe's fit.

I've got Chuckster's two inch risers with the Baron Bullet tach. I don't see that the Phat II risers would present any problem. I agree that this tach looks really good. The bracket also provided a flat place to mount my LED voltmeter.

Thanks! This must be a popular item. Hard choice between the black or white background. Any opinions as to whether one is easier to see than the other, day/night?? I've got the EZPASS mounted inside the shield dead center, might need to move that.

I have the same white Baron's tach and voltmeter mounted the same way. You'll love it. Easy install, about 30 minutes.....less if you take the tank off!!

My only question on this thread is will the 2 inch bullet tach fit and will the 3 inch bullet tach fit. This is a question I have had for sometime now. Good question creed. barons makes a 2 inch and a 3 inch, I also have the Phat ll risers.

I believe bobhamlin's post shows the 3".....and I have the 3" with Phat risers.

Tru dat.

So, according to my calculations, the only way a 2" would NOT fit would be if I were trying to install it.
