Digital tach

Does anyone here have any info on a digital tach? I have found a few at JP cycles but they are way too expensive! Over $100and up!
I had one on a lawn mower and I'm thinking it was only around $30. Would something like that work on the bike? If so how could you hook it up?
I am going to do the Sigma computer thing but would like a tach as well.
Any input would be appreciated.

The TinyTach is in that range and will work - just doesn't seem to hold up to well I've been told - that was likely the make on the lawn mower - induction tach that has pickup wire that wraps around the plug wire

That was probably the one. I remember the wire wrapped around the plug wire. Are there any other suggestions of one that might hold up a little better and are still not very expensive?

I had a small digital one that used an induction wire the same way.  The vibration of the bike killed it.

My tach wasn't expensive and was easy to connect when I finally figured out the colors..

Mine came with a simple mounting clamp, as it says in the second add.  I did not buy from those two e-bayers but it's the same tach from Custom Chrome.
