Does anyone know why Honda doesn't put a tachometer on this bike?

S.W.A.G - Same reason for no gas guage, to give you that old cruiser feeling; or just too cheap. But there is allot of room for customizing to your own liking.

I'm looking for a gas gauge, have you ever found one of those? I saw a tech gauge on DENNISKIRK.COM Hope this helps.

Torque is what maintains a bikes speed in different situations. Torque gives a cruiser its feeling on the road. If you're not in tune with this machine, get a cafe racer style machine that is a high rpm (horsepower) machine that needs to have a tach to keep the engine intact when racing. Torque happens better at lower rpm.

Right you are. Who needs a tach, it's a v-twin... You feel where it's right... Every time I see an aftermarket tach on a twin I think, "This man hasn't a clue". But don't worry, they have a rev limiter set at around 6500rpm, so if you can't "feel", you still can't kill it.
