At some point in the life of my FLHP I may decide to "de-cop" it more than it is now. Part of that would include taking off the black headlight nacelle and handlebar clamp cover and replacing it all with chrome (if I can stand the price, because as it is now I can only find the parts from HD and they are quite proud of them), and painting the black side covers to match the bike.
Here’s a question. Did you just drill the clamp cover to bolt the tach to it?
When I bought the police tach it came with the black clamp cover and mounting bracket. I used the already drilled black clamp cover to measure by and drilled my original chrome cover.
I covered the chrome cover in blue painters tape so it would be easier to mark and center punch the hole locations. From what I remember the bolt heads on the underside of the clamp cover were pretty close to the handlebars, if you went too far one way or the other there could be some interference. I think I used button head bolts to give me a little more room. The nuts on the top side are the same as what's used on the windshield mounting bracket.
