Both of my '86 weekenders have the clock instead of the tach. I did not know
the switch to a tach is simple plug and play if I can get an '86-'91 cluster
with tach.

Anyone have an '86-'91 cluster with tach for sale? I would transfer my
current speedo into it. Please pmail me if so. Was the tach an option on the
wolfy weekenders, or did they all come with clocks like mine?

Thanks
