After reading everyone's views on a tach, I think I am going to try it without for a bit.
I like the idea of a gear indicator. I have a 02 America now and I am always reaching for another gear when I am already in 5th. I don't think I will be needing much more than 5th with this new bike.
I pick it up this Thursday in MD and ride it back to CT. Does any one have a suggestions on what octane I should run on a bone stock Rocket 3 Touring?
