I bought my bike without gauges. I have a Drag Specialties speedometer on the way :woohoo: but I would like a tach too. I'm doing everything I can to not use stock gauges because they are stupid expensive.
I've been looking into electrical tachs as opposed to mechanical. Not that I would mind a mechanical, I just don't know if all bike tachs hook up the same or have different ratios like the speedometers? Anyways, I really like the look and price of this tach:

But it says it's ideal for a single coil ignition. Does my '93 GS have a single or dual coil ignition? And if it is dual, is it possible to still use that gauge to get a proper reading?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, it should work. Doesn't go all the way to redline though.
I'm good with that. I don't like running anything straight to the redline so 10k rpm works for me! Thanks for the clarification there :thumb:

It may not like getting wet - looks like more of an "in the car" than "out in the weather on a bike" gauge. There are aftermarket bike-specific gauges that will still work after getting rained on.
Digital sucketh for a tach. LEDs in a circle pretending to be a needle work OK, but digital sucketh the one that is ginormus.
You're going it excite this thing's evidently non-adjustable "5000 rpm red light warning" every time you ride...
Despite the fact that many people do blue lights in the gauges and such-like, blue light is bad at night. Destroys your night-vision.
