Anyone know what the gauge is that is coming out of the side of the engine on the "Pink Taco" above the points cover?

Man.. I can't imagine riding a bike like that. Supercharged 750, tiny front drum, raked out like crazy... Must have been a hell of a ride.

Pink Taco was built by Duane Ballard.  He just recently finished it.  He's posted some pictures of the build somewhere, but for I cant remember.

Here's his blog with some info on the bike.
