Electric Tach On a 82/83 GS1100ez

[TxGSrider]

Is there an electric tachometer that can be fitted into an 82/83 gauge cluster... or is it very hard to modify a GS1150 gauge cluster to work on my 82 GS1100EZ? Im gathering parts to swap heads to an 1150 head that, of course, doesn't have any tach drive.

I do have a GS1150 gauge set and wiring harness if that would be easier to mod to work.

Thanks!

fwiw, i fitted a gsxr gauge set to my 1100 es, mech speedo and electronic tach, required some massaging of the wiring and a bracket that i fabbed up, but pretty easy and looks like it belongs.

That's a good idea too. I haven't really set the gs1150 gauges next to my gs1100 gauges to see how close the wiring is.
Honestly, most of the "information/warning lights" on my gs cluster I could do without anyhow. I like the turn signal, high beam, gear indicator, and maybe the kickstand warning light.

I'm running a Trail Tech Vapor computer on my 1100E. Took some fiddling to get the tach working properly but now that I have it there it is working very well. You can get a small additional 'dashboard' that goes around the Vapor body and has indicator lights for turn signals, high beam, low oil pressure and neutral. I used the handlebar mount for this year while testing it and making sure everything works as expected. I plan to take the OEM gauge cluster off this winter and permanently mount the Vapor in its place for next season.

Doing the same thing in the next couple of weeks - 1150 Gauges on 1100E... Luckily spares mountain has provided me with a number of options

will keep you posted
