Or you could do like the previous owner of the basketcase I just bought did. Some kind of epoxy/putty. I don't know how I am going to get it out/off.

I took the threaded end off the cable and inserted a piece of aluminum I cut from a pop can to fill the hole. Seems to be working ok.

Why bother removing it unless its ugly. Just get an electric tach

The whole reason I want it off is because I don't want a tach

I need to figure out something that looks decent. I plan on running an electronic tach instead

Would a chrome acorn nut have the correct threads?
Suggestions on an electronic tach?
Aftermarket Harley tachs will work.

BUTT ugly that pic of the end of the tack drive cable with a piece of pop cam looks like a damn good idea, too bad I got suckered in on mikes tack drive plug , whit BTW they are out of stock on just like the Canadian distributor, take my advice and use the end of the cable drive and a piece of pop can like ? said looks good !

I have the opposite problem, I need a tach drive as the one I have the housing is cracked by the O ring. Any of you don't need yours.

Welder's penetrate deeper!!
ive used both. the plug cant be removed unless pounded out from the inside.
I put my tach drive back in, and used mikes cap.
Even though I don't run a tach, I can still hook up my tach for tunning.

I used a core (freeze) plug. 9/16" I think. Thin coat of RTV on the outside, drove right in.

How does the tach plug from Mikes install?

It's not a plug, it's a screw on cap. I have one on mine and it looks fine to me.

How do the cap from Mikesxs fit the tach out put for a 1977XS650D. The lowbrow customs require to remove the tach gears, then drive in a alum stud. Im looking for some home brew. Anybody, Thanks Dirty
