Post by: iakona808 on January 05, 2007, 12:06:08 PM

All Suzuki - Ratio 1:4, Honda 750 - 1000cc 1:4  i dunno about the honda stuff but its on the partsnmore.com website where im also buying a couple carb rebuild kits. thanks heres the link http://www.partsnmore.net/item_index.php?part_unique=2643  i have the mount for the tach just no tach :)

I haven't ventured into the realm of tachometers in this bike.  But, I think it will work if it is the right ratio for the gearing in the head.

Looks like it would work okay, but is it the same size as the stock tach? They don't list any dimensions on the site. I might drop them an email to find out, as both of my gauges could use replacing.

I guess you need to decide between originality and functionality and how important it is to you.

That is a mechanical tach, isn't it?
