    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm looking to use a digital speedometer/tachometer on my 77 gs750B project. I've never done a mechanical to digital conversion, just wanted to see if there were any specs I need to know before picking out the new speedo/tach. Has anybody done this conversion before? Any advice? As always, thanks!

Have you looked at the TrailTech Vapor? I put one on my Kawasaki and I loved it. LOVED IT. TrailTech is an awesome company as well. They really take care of their customers.
 
Thanks for the input. I haven't really picked out any particular model quite yet because I'm not sure if I'm looking for specific specs or the like.
I've like the look of this acewell gauge:

Or this one:

I would ideally like on that also has all the indicator lights as well.

Was Kawasaki already wired for a digital device or did you have get a mechanical to digital converter?
 
I went with the base model Acewell on my 450, has indicator, high beam, neutral, and oil pressure lights as well as tacho and speedo, dual trip meters, highest/average speed and RPM, etc.

I found it pretty easy to adapt as well, and tacho input I was able to take off the negative side of one of my coils.

I made the custom dash for it as well to include an LED charging indicator and the stock gear position indicator:

 
Pete, that looks great! That's exactly what I was looking to do. Thanks for the input!
