QuoteI've heard there are a lot of vibration issues using the Auto meter tach, any ideas on that? I did hear someone say they just mounted it with rubber bushings and didn't have any problems.

Maybe one of you guys who originally posted the question is still monitoring this so here goes.

The issues that Auto Meter has with their tachs has bee resolved.  My '94 F2 came with an Auto Meter tach (and the needle was off it's spindle.  I shipped the tach to them for repair.  

The needle popped off again, and it was actually quite comical as it happened while I was riding and I just revved the tach to the point it just freaked and had to check out.   I called the folks at Auto Meter and explained that the needle fell off while in normal use (ha!).

For some reason, my mentioning that it was being used on a motorcycle (I thought this model was made for bikes ???) seemed to click a switch in the mind of the service rep.  He said for me to ship the tach.  I did and they repaired it w/o charge.

That was in the winter of 2004.  I've had no problems with the tach since.
