Digital Speedometer/Tachometer

[Guest]

I'm looking to use a digital speedometer/tachometer on my 77 gs750B project. I've never done a mechanical to digital conversion, just wanted to see if there were any specs I need to know before picking out the new speedo/tach. Has anybody done this conversion before? Any advice? As always, thanks!

Have you looked at the TrailTech Vapor? I put one on my Kawasaki and I loved it. LOVED IT. TrailTech is an awesome company as well. They really take care of their customers.

Thanks for the input. I haven't really picked out any particular model quite yet because I'm not sure if I'm looking for specific specs or the like.
I've like the look of this acewell gauge:

Or this one:

I would ideally like on that also has all the indicator lights as well.

Was Kawasaki already wired for a digital device or did you have get a mechanical to digital converter?

I went with the base model Acewell on my 450, has indicator, high beam, neutral, and oil pressure lights as well as tacho and speedo, dual trip meters, highest/average speed and RPM, etc.

I found it pretty easy to adapt as well, and tacho input I was able to take off the negative side of one of my coils.

I made the custom dash for it as well to include an LED charging indicator and the stock gear position indicator:

Pete, that looks great! That's exactly what I was looking to do. Thanks for the input!

Thanks mate, pretty happy with how it turned out and a long time later now it's still going well.

There's a bunch more pic's here if they'll help you at all:
