For my install, I first temporarily mounted it to the handlebars where you see it in the picture. I then gave the line a few cm of slack and then wrapped a loop around the brake line where it goes into the reservoir and permanently electrical taped it there to give it something to 'hold' against when I pulled the rest of the slack out as I fed it down under the tank to the plug wire. I have other wire loom there for other stuff and I fed the wire into an existing wire loom for protection though it isn't required. I left several inches of 'extra' wire in a small taped bundle under the tank just in case I needed to re-position it in the future, and then wrapped around the plug wire 4 times and electrical taped it down.
Anyhow, when I mounted it to the bike as seen, I first carefully clipped off the side tabs and then sanded it smooth on the grinder. When cutting, start far out and nibble your way in as the plastic will "crack" off and not really cut smooth and you can then finish up with a light touch on a grinder or sand paper.
Lastly, I put the "rough" side of the velcro on the tach, and the "soft" side of the velcro on the handlebar and upper rear side of the brake fluid reservoir. Attach and you're all set. Should you need to access your brake fluid reservoir, just use a razor to make a cut where the cap needs to separate from the reservoir and it'll lift right off and go right back on.
As JOG would say, "
I made a science project" out of something that should be very simple
Have fun!
