I would like to thank you guys for helping me with my choice of which tach to buy. I bought the Ryca mini tachometer without the handlebar mount . Instead I made my own brackets . I used 1/4" x 1" aluminum flat bar and bent 90° angles using a vise and a ball peen hammer . I shaped and sculpted the metal using a belt sander and a rat tail file then polished the brackets using a buffing wheel on my grinder. I used red rouge and white rouge to finish the project. I will try to attach pic's .

Perfection! You really nailed it. The design goes perfectly with the bike.
