I too am thinking of doing the same. I'm currently eyeing a Koso RX2 speedometer at the moment. But am wondering if the swap out is a pain in the arse or no. I don't mind a bit of a challenge...but would like to know if there are any considerations to be aware of before I begin.

I am running an Acewell, seems good so far.
The tacho isnt as good as an analogue one.
There is a bit of mucking around involved.

That's just a regular Vapor...I got it off of eBay.
The Vapor does have a built in Tach but I had a lot of issues with it on my stock GS750. I likely wouldn't have the same issues on my new Kat motor since it lacks the charging issues my previous bike had, but I really like great big tachs. I'm a ricer at heart.

Personally, I would never swap, nor would I ever wear another mans speedo...

there's something awfully homo-erotic about that song... *ahem*
::I want you to dance naked
I promise I won't touch you
I promise to tell no one, no
I want you to dance naked
Spin it round and round
Spin it round and round and round:::
*mutters under breath* anyways... enough off topic rambling, BACK TO THE SPEEDOS!

I purchased a box lot of a few speedos from a seller on ebay for cheap and used the one that fit the best.
I think its Honda.
Gear drive and the Suzuki cable matched up no proplem.

I just installed an older Kawasaki cluster on my 77GS... Pretty sure mine came off an 86 Ninja, but Kawi used this cluster on a bunch of bikes.
Made a temporary bracket for now, but will be moving it in a bit tighter. Also had to solder up the wires (correctly) to an old pigtail. I removed the temp gauge and relocated my ignition into it.
You have to wire the electronic tach (the volt meter works too!) and I had to buy a 6" speedo cable extension from MikesXS since it is on the right hand side now.
