1982 GS1100GK Tach

[theliverkid]

This is a cable drivin tach Do they make I block off plate for removing the tach and running without it?

You can remove the cable (leaving the fitting in place on the cylinder head) and it shouldn't leak oil -- there's an oil seal in the fitting.

If you want to do away with the fitting, there are a few later models with electronic tachs that used a plug here.

For example, if you look at the 1985 GS450 fiches, the parts you'd need are:
CAP, TACHOMETER GEAR SLEEVE 26442-45000
SEAL BAND 26451-45000
