  • is this the dude from Highlander?? Oh sht, it is..
Hi everyone

Ok.....the GSXR600 front end, complete including rotors is on its way. A whole bunch of other things still to get and I will be building a parts cache over the next few months...but thinking well ahead i want to keep the stock speedo and tacho of the CB750.

This won't be possible for the speedo, but I would like to keep the stock looking twin gauge look and am looking for advice on where I can get a similar looking speedo as a replacement or somehow adapt the existing one, or if necessary replace both the speedo and tacho to a set that are the same size and look.

I know everyone is going to a single gauge or those little 2.5" gauges, but I quite like the look of the old gauges.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Pete

Try www.speedhut.com. They offer a myriad of options, plus, you can "customize" the face and appearance of their gauge directly from them. Many of their gauges are electronic or GPS-based to resolve the technical end of your dilemma.

All reports I've seen on them give them very high ratings. I opted for a different brand because I like those tiny 2" single units that are multifunction  ;) (MotoGadget)

But the breadth of customisation at no expense to the buyer is pretty impressive.
