can you put an aftermarket speedo on a GS?

[jbayreaux]

I would like to put an after market speedo on my GS. Then add some LEDs for the gear indicator/neutral/highbeam/oil/etc. I know it has be be doable

i'm sure itis...however its a HUGE pain in the ass....

if you want another speedo that is accurate, get a GPS.

It wasn't very painful for me...

Only thing I want now is a seven segment LED for the gear indicator... I can live without just as easy though.

Yes, you can.

Check out the instrument clusters from Electrosport.

The speedo works by calculating the RPMs on the front wheel via a magnetic pickup. The tach splices into one of your spark plug ignition wires and calculates RPM based on ignition pulses. The Electrosport rep said they provide instructions on how to splice the rest of your harness wiring to get the turn signal, neutral, high beam and other indicators working on their spiffy LCD instrument cluster.
