    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.

Going to a speedo only, and not using a tach on my gs750 bobber. I don't know what to do with the openning created in the head by the absent tach cable. Any ideas?

I'd cut the thread off the old rev counter cable and use it to hold in a rubber blanking grommet. No mechanical need for the grommet as you won't (shouldn't) get any oil leaks - it would just look neater.

I should think you should be able to plug it easy enough. Even if you have to cut the sleeve from your old cable, cut it down and plug the end.....
 
Speedo... :lol:



Suppose it would depend how much pressure or oil leakage mught be present. If you took the end of an old tach cable and clipped it off leaving a little bit of the end exposed to pop on a black rubber cap it might work.
The type of caps found at the auto store for vacuum connections. :-k

I'm slow. hahaha....

Yea, what they said.
 
For the screw in type of cable i've cut one off the end of an old cable & welded the hole in it up then installed as usual or ive removed the whole tacho drive & installed a bolt of the correct thread

For the type thats held in by a small plate & screw ive made an ally blanking plate & installed that with a smear of sealant

no problems with either way as there is not enough pressure there to cause leakage

Ace Hardware. Dont forget to take the tach cable to size it up. I used teflon tape.

The cleanest way is to get a cap off of an ESD. They used the same 82-83 heads with mechanical tach but the ESD was electronic tach.

Thanks. Ace Hardware sounds good to me.
