I think the Drifter should have as less tech stuff as possible, because of her nice and clean retro-look.
Just my 2 cents...

Yep, I'm staying between the wet dog and screaming range, but it's still nice to know what your RPMs are.

Like I tell my rider ed students...if it's screaming, shift up, if it shakes like a wet dog, shift down....The owner's manual has a speed range listed for each gear...

  I was waiting to see where this was going to go. I do not have the tech ability to mount one, but I should have mounted on prior to doing the sprocket swaps to see the actual numbers. Hope this works out for you.

Okay, so nobody's got an opinion about having a tach on an 800 drifter, eh?  ;D I'm surprised.  I feel like I want one, not because of over-revving but quite the opposite--wondering if I'm lugging her a bit much and want to see how low I am on the R's.  Not a big deal but again it would be nice.  Hard to believe nobody else has rigged something, either with a cable or electronic ???

I really wouldn't mind having a tachometer, has anybody tried one of these?   http://www.ebay.com/itm/191542764109?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT.  I had one on a single cylinder bike I had and it worked great, but I don't know about hooking it up to a V twin.  If not that one, could you recommend a good one?
