Rolsmith, I have the wheel in that position but my vertically challenged self (5'6") is having the tach blocked by the rim and not the spokes. If I was shorter it would be fine, if I was much taller it would be fine but sadly I am not taller and god forbid being any shorter. That is the reason I was interested in swapping the tach to the passenger side.

Dan, I thought it might be a rev limiter but without a dealer to ask I thought I would start looking here. 5200 might have been reached so I will pursue that train of thought. Thanks.

As Chris99 says the S&S Engine Manual says not to go above 5800 RPM.

If you want to sit a little higher consider an AirHawk cushion https://www.motohaus.com/airhawk-seat-cushions.html How much higher depends on how much you pump it up but too much & it would be bouncy, normal would be 30 - 50mm. I had one from my scooter but lost it when I left it on the tonneau of my vintage car. If you want to reorientate you wheel spokes no need to drill new holes, disconnect the column under the cowl at the joint & turn the upper column 180deg.

I moved the wheel 180 degrees the second day of ownership, but it is not the spokes as much as the rim of the wheel that artfully blocks the tachometer.

I will try lifts of various heights. I believe I have an old Physicians Desk Reference that might be thick enough😊

Have you considered transposing the speedometer and tachometer? The speedo readings will be visible up to about 60mph, the range that will stop you getting a ticket. The tacho ones will be visible all the way round but to be honest with that engine on the front you have a pretty good idea what it's doing just by the noise and vibrations, the tacho is just for confirmation. If you calibrate the speedo then it will be worth looking at that as well, rather than being 6-8% optimistic. Is your oil gauge in the middle for pressure and temperature, like the SPA one?

At the same time I could figure out how to turn on the dash lights to bright for daytime use maybe without the main lamps on.

I have indeed thought about doing the swap but have not asked what is involved. I could guess that it is a rather simple matter of removing the firewall panel, unplugging the components and then remove and replace the tach and speedo, am I correct? Or did MMC use a wiring loom that means none of the cables are long enough for the swap?
