Anybody know what year or model of the VTX this speedo/tach combo was used on? And....where I might find one? I installed one on Carmen Allen's black/bronze that got a prize at the 1st Michigan IZ. In fact it was in my garage for nearly 4 months while I worked on it, repairing what another "specialist" did.

This looks like the speedometer housing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/02-06-Honda-VTX1800-C-VTX-HANDLEBAR-RISERS-SPEEDO-HOLDER-UPPER-LOWER/264396036744?epid=11030444335&hash=item3d8f3b5a88:g:S6kAAOSwARpdKLQ4

Tach is separate I presume.

I saw all those but none have the tach piece which mounts above it.

I don't know, John. I've looked at Google photos of every type of VTX I can think of, and none of the factory, factory accessory, or even aftermarket tachs look like that. Was it a Honda tach? I was wondering if it was an aftermarket tach, but not something that shows up on a search these days, since maybe they don't make it anymore. I don't know, but the lower looks right anyway. If I do come across anything that looks right, I'll let you know.

Can't find it myself but I did find a Kuryakyn Visor for the speedometer
with the exact same setup as the one in your picture.

I had a 2003 VTX 1800.  That's the factory speedo in the photo, tack was not an option . The tack shown in the photo and mount is aftermarket.

OK, thanks....that clears it up for me. The tach and mount probably aren't available any longer, gonna keep looking around though. I guess that tach was designed purposely to work with the speedo. Did your model of the VTX not have a tach or was it mounted elsewhere?
