Has anyone put a tach on their bike. If you have, how did you mount it and where did you get the tach? What type is is? Does any one have pictures. I need to mount one so I can tune the rpm's where I want them in the power band. Thanks

You can mount them anywhere you please on the handlebars on the scoots dash wherever you think it looks good and where you can see it as your riding. As for tachs you can google for them they have a lot of them on ebay all prices from 20.00 bucks on up. A lot of people get the Tiny Tach type. So google for Tiney Tach and pick whichever one apeals to you.

the problem is the mount. Can't seem to fin a good mount

[Alleyoop]

Where do you want to mount it? I mean you can make your own mount if you can't find a mount for the tach you select that is a piece of cake man. You can even use velcro or sticky two sides tape or make a mount out of piece of flat thin aluimiun that you can get at a hardware store.

I had a tiny tach I just velcro'd it to the dash. I now have a koso digital dyno dash.



This is how I mounted it.



It came with bar mount but couldn't use them. The bracket is a 3" l bracket.

amazon.com search tiny tack item #10 there it is I dont know how good it is it has mixed reviews

[Alleyoop]

Yea I just read the reviews and it seems it is not good for registering rpms, guess that is why it is so cheap. But then again some did say it worked so I guess it depends on the pick of the lot.

I think you are right but for 15.00 I think it is worth a try

[fido64]

I got my 15.00 tack it works how good it is ///too soon to tell what is the average idel rpm for a gy6 150 in a trike?

[fido64]

The tack seems to work ok but could some one give me the rpm range of these gy6 motors in a trike Idle____ full throttle______ I saw it but i do not remember the range or where I saw it // old age is setting in I guess//

[Alleyoop]

Each motor is different but anywhere 1500-1800 whereever it idles the smoothest, mine idles around 1600 or so the needle shows middle of 1K and 2K.

Thank you

The 15.00 tack works fairley well /But the fla sun plays hell with the digital display. You need to give it's mounting a little more consideration than I did.
