I know this has been asked before but I searched and couldn't find anything specific enough to answer my question quickly.

Will a 2006 speedo work on my '90?

Yeah, it should.  The new tachs aren't compatible, but the speedometer should be.  I don't think they changed the connection from the cable to the gauge.

The speedo changed??   

....the tach changed to electric in 04.
Common sense in not very common.

If you have a large threaded item on the back of the speedometer, not the mounting posts, it is mechanical.

I'm with dgyver, I think it is mechanical and never changed. To do that, Suz would have had to do electronics to sense wheel speed - something I never saw on any GS. Service manual doesn't mention anythng about an electric speedo either.

Tach. Those are electric on late models.

God save us from LED turn signal mods!

Get an Ebay GS value  HERE.
