    What is this speedo/tac off of?? Please help!

    Hello everyone. This came off of my 1980 GS1000. As to why it was on there, I have no idea. Anyways I would like to sell it, but it would help if I knew what to list it as. Thank you!!

    Well it has a 85 speedo, so we know it is an 80-81 something.

      That's what I was thinking. The tachometer does not have a cable slot on the back but still accurately displays RPM's (maybe through ignition pulses through the wiring harness?)

        I was originally thinking Honda, but they look an awful lot like these:

                No problem. Fastest Google fingers in the west, right here. Knowing it was from an 80-81 helped tremendously.

                    Why do speedo's from 80-81 max out at 85? Any reason besides to promote you to drive slower? Just wondering

                      Federal law back then, didn't work so they repealed it.

                        I remember how popular those speedos where when they came out; not very....

                        (Back then Montana had no speed limit, if I remember correctly.)
