Is it hard to connect it to the ignition coil?

Respectfully suggest you get the white face black numerals as it should be easir to read at night.

Try googling JPCYCLES and check their tachs, I got mine from Catalyst Cycles in Tennessee, they may have white face. These things are generic Taiwanese or PRC.

Coaxial, should you purchase and install, don't be alarmed if the needle leaps to 8000 when you switch the ignition on. Apparently this has to do with the capacitor discharge in the rev counter discharging. The tach will then settle. Hopefully someone who knows what they are talking about will confirm this and be careful to relace your speedo cable as it was sited under the tank.

And I totally agree the white faced gauges are much better to read at night and slightly better during the day-

I am going to trust and agree with you guys on the white face portion.

oh my relace my speedo cable? and I just want a tach.. I thought it would have something to do with connecting it to the ignition coil. I have no clue how but I will figure it out when the time comes.

Sorry, Coaxial the thing about the speedo cable is simply to check it's routing under the tank and to REPLACE it as carefully as possible.
