The LT and Commanders are 5 volt at the coil. So the standard aftermarket 12 v tachs will not work. The only unit I could find to fit the bill was from Speedhut.com, their tachs work from .5 volts up to 60 volts.
Speedhuts are not motorcycle specific but, I along with a few other owners are running these with no issues. The one I'm running is an 8000 rpm gauge.
Have a look around their website, these are customizable. colors, lighting, logos. I ordered a 2 5/8. They have a lot to choose from.
Do a Google search, tach for Triumph LT for a few links to the modifications.

Have just fitted the Tacko bracket to the Lt :seems to have taken forever to get the son to finish it.
I suppose it's like the rest of us fathers who r not paying the boss to get the job done.
Lucky as he just changed employer. All that garbage aside I can't seem to upload the photo they are saying file to big.
Computer skills r very limited any suggestions how to reduce the photos on an apple to display finished bracket.
Jackco.

Hope this gives any interested tachometer purchasers one idea of how to mount the speedhut tacho securely.
I added a bit of length the Allenkey stainless bolts and cut 2 pieces of stainless pipe to be the spacers and raise the bracket a few mm for ease to clean.
Sorry it took so long to post the photos, next step is to work out how to hook up the wiring.
Cheers Jackco

Try re Orientating them before you upload them.
