Reply #2 - 03/15/09 at 17:47:25 Our thumpers are "double fire" so you have to get the right tach. This is the one I have on mine that I bought online from "Onida Suzuki" for $70.79 to my door. It is Drag Specialies #DS244133 w/black face. If you check around I think you will find that this is the best price. Ride Safe Marine5317

Cool, my stealership carries those. May have to see if they'll hold up the their "free installation" deal if I order one from them. Grin

If not I'd go with the Oneida Suzuki deal, it's cheaper.

That is a cruise control for the bike, it is really just a throttle lock. It looks a little strange and makes me reach around it for the starter, but I really like the one I have on my bike. It is really nice for long rides.

Reply #14 - 03/17/09 at 08:21:49 Alright, I was digging thru some of my old tool boxes and found an old tach. Looks kinda generic but functional. It goes up to 8000 RPM and has a 3 way switch on the back that has 8, 6, and 4.How do I know if it will work on my thumper. It also has 4 wires,black, white, red, and green...
