Ready to put a GS 750 speedo/tach on a GS850G

I believe I'm going to have to do some modding with regard to the brackets and mounting, but I just received this today from an Ebay seller, and as far as I can tell, the plugs are all identical!

Jeepers, you'll have to pardon my oldschoolness but those 80s gauges were just plain HIDEOUS. I picked up one from an ebayer for my 750 cafe, and it was one off an 1100E, they "uge ones that look like jet fighter gauges, crazy how big they were. I like the lil ones. Hell, if i could get away with it, i'd be running lil (gasp) Honda solo cup gauges.

I kinda like these ridiculous things that look like something off a Galaga video game. Easy to read and all that. But I hear you - the guy I bought the bike from had a single tiny little Acewell for it. I want the big honkin' mama!

If I was swapping mine, I'd go later or earlier to get rid of that damn 85 MPH speedo.

speedo cable goes where

I have an 82 GS 1100g that Im putting together and don't know where the speedo cable hooks-up to and also does any body know where to find a tach,because im missing that as-well like an ebay item or someone selling the origanl all the close salvage yards dont have what im looking for

That is large. However, it has a gas gauge. I love gas gauges. Wish I had one.
