The heading says it all... I would like to install a rev counter on my S40. Anybody on here has done this?

You will have to excuse Verslagen1. He's getting into the liquid Christmas cheer a bit early.

Thanks, that is very useful. I would have found that thread if I used the right terminology (tachometer) when searching.

No, Colorado, USA. I did live in England for 18 years though, mostly in the Midlands.

Yep, it is important to keep track of the "tickover" RPM

That's why I am installing the tachometer. I want to make sure the idle is always set at 1000 rpm+

I would like to thank you guys for helping me with my choice of which tach to buy. I bought the Ryca mini tachometer without the handlebar mount . Instead I made my own brackets . I used 1/4" x 1" aluminum flat bar and bent 90° angles using a vise and a ball peen hammer . I shaped and sculpted the metal using a belt sander and a rat tail file then polished the brackets using a buffing wheel on my grinder. I used red rouge and white rouge to finish the project. I will try to attach pic's .

For my RPM I just count the "thumps" 1 Mississippi - 2 Mississippi - 3 Mississippi etc for 1 minute

Perfection! You really nailed it. The design goes perfectly with the bike.
