I believe the alternators are rated about 42 amp on our bikes so go some bigger than that and all should be well!! :)

Doc, I just got the Custom Chrome HD Tach and bracket,, 50$ E Bay Brand New

A guy on the Vulcan forum found it and told me about it.. I assume that is a Drag Specialities Tach..

.
The Tachs I look at range from 39$ to 200+$$.. I see how this one works ,, If I dont like it Ill find one the same size and reuse the bracket or use this bracket with a Volt Meter got it for 15$ Del. E Bay
