Riser-mounted tachometer?
07/14/14 at 16:17:39
I saw a really cool riser-mounted tachometer on a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic yesterday, and was wondering if anyone knows if I could adapt one to my wife's 95 Savage.
I found this one, but I'm wondering how hard it would be to connect to the engine.
Thoughts?

My only complaint with aftermarket gauges is that the bike won't turn 8000 rpms or go 160 mph. Most gauges seem to be calibrated for these maximums. You can get custom gauges at speed hut.com that are tailored to your speed and rpms.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

6500 is the published red line, but you're have to talk to OF what the real red line is. That 8000 peg is in danger

The gauge holder looks lovely and that's where most of the expense would be. The gauge looks very similar to the cheapies sold by JP Cycles and various others, I have one without the lovely holder and have no complaints.

This is the one that I picked up off of eBay a couple of years ago. Works great for me. (Was under $50 if I recall)

How does it wire up to the engine to show RPMs?

This is the one I put on. Because our bikes are double fire you don't need an adapter. What that means is that our spark fires twice per four strokes and the tach thinks it's a twin cylinder engine and gives an accurate reading.

Here's my original post from buying/installing my tach (can't believe it was 2011)

Here is one almost identical that you find all over eBay all day long that should work.

If you go the analogue way get the white face black dial one, easier to read when the little bulb fails

I mentioned in another thread that I found one for about $35 at a local motocross shop. Here's how it looks after install:
