Title: GS500E & GS500F gauges
Post by: mikeybikey82 on April 11, 2011, 09:40:47 AM
are they interchangable between the two bikes?  i need the black speedo cover and the bracket that holds both the speedo and tach for my E, but there is a nice complete set of gauges w/ bracket on ebay for an F, it looks the same?  would i be able to use the speedo cover and bracket from this?

The F models have an electric tach driven by ignition pickup signals while the E models thru 02 have a mechanical tack drive thru a cable from the exhaust camshaft.  All the other parts should be interchangeable.
