why bother it is soooo tiny hardly visible .. I do not think it is safe to try to read the gear you are in while moving due to the size of the digit

I know but I also know that the darn thing is staring at me and though I say do not look do not look I bloody well look

Black electricians tape !!!!!

Scott you know that I am from noble blood not the thin watery polish stuff but the good oxo fed Scottish stuff so how can I possibly use black electrical tape on my bike it would be so beneath me, plus I ran out of tape putting my LEDs on

Ok I didn't realize you used it up. But hey simce you a plumber you can always use plumbers putty. You can even spray paint it to color match. Just make sure you spray it before you put it on the clock

First thing I did was put a tach on my Touring, too. I rode a 4 speed Kawasaki for about 5 years without one, but always wished it had it.
I wanted a Rocket classic mainly for the 240 rear tire and the tach, but got a sweet deal on a 2010 R3T.
I don't get the tach-speedo gear thing yet, but I often discover I have an extra gear to use when over 70 MPH on this touring!!

When Tach reads almost 3000rpm and speedo 70mph = 5th gear , see simple

I would prefer to be around 22-2300 @ 80 just for the gas mileage.

Sure you are just under power range at 3k, but I have no problems dropping to 3rd and hitting warp speed around other traffic.

I get my best fuel economy cruising at 90 mph.
