Electronic Speedo / Gauge options - any recommendations?

[salty_monk]

I'm thinking of fitting an electronic speedo & Tach to the GS750ES for a couple of reasons....

1. The original gauge set is ugly
2. The GSXR front end with the 17" wheel conversion won't accept the GS speedo drive & the one that comes with it although obviously has been used does not allow for 100% correct spacing of the wheel.

So... anyone used anything?

I'm definitely prepared to lose the Temp gauge but if poss would like to keep the fuel, idiot lights & poss the gear indicator.

I guess I could rig something else up for those if necessary - thinking about some kind of all in one unit or maybe one from a newer bike or something... Any pointers?

The bike already has an electronic tach so in theory the only new wiring I would need is for the electronic sensor.

I'm using the chrome round ones from a Bandit. Clean and functional to me

How does the speedo drive pickup work on those? Any pics?

[nastyjones]

Mechanical speedo drive same as ours, I believe. The tach is electronic but just wired into the coils to give proper readout. I personally love the look. It goes well with my project 80 gs1100 16v updating project with gsxr front end & front and back wheels.

Hi Paul, were do you plug the wire for rpm signal? In or around a spark plug wire?
Thanks,

Kochic, This info came from another member but I believe it's accurate

There is one wire that feeds both coils. THis is the low tension wire that picks up the signal. Then the guages, the black wire with white trace is ground, one of the others is the signal wire. The third I think is the lights.

Thanks Paul,
do you have an electronic ignition on your bike?

Nice set

Kochic - Can you give me the link that you bought from?

Been looking at the Acewell ones... they do one for $149 plus postage with everything incl fuel on it but not temp or gear indicator.

Also looking at VAPOUR http://www.canyonchasers.net/reviews...ries/vapor.php & VEYPOR http://www.veypor.com/veypor.html

Prefer the round anlogue look I think.....
