Topic: Cycle X re-pop tach

[Tempast]

Hey guys, wondering if any of you have used the Cycle X CB550 repop tach. The tach on my bike is from a 750 and shows about 4k while the engine sounds like close to redline.

Cycle X has one that the face is a little different than stock so I'm wondering if it's accurate?

And for 50 bucks I can't complain. They're more than that for dinged up eBay ones.

Just throwing this out there. Are you sure you have a repop tach for a 550?  If your's is actually for a 750, the ratio's are different.  Sorry if you're already aware of this... I'll shut up now.

Edit
I decided to jump into Cycle x's site and sure enough, they're selling 550 gauges.  I wasn't aware they had started.  I am trying repop gauges for my 750 but I paid about $125 each for mine, so, Agreed, $50 is a good deal and they look great.  Sorry I wasn't any help.

I tried a CB500 tacho on my CB750.  Look exact as my CB750 K6-76 tacho
It showed way too much. I think 4000 rpm instead of 1500-2000
If you have lived a little bit closer we could make a trade

I had re-pro guages on my 650 for a while.  They were crap to say the least.  I didn't buy them from cycle-x, so can't comment on their particular guages, but be careful.  The speedo was no-where near accurate, read 100kph at 60kph and waved badly.  The tach was very similar, read high and bounced, a lot.

Good to know. Mine came of Z1Parts. for cb750 mind you. Look like quality.  Speed seems bang on, tach at all Rpm sounds right on.  I've only 3 miles on mine so time will tell.  I dont recall if Z1parts had any for a 500-550 thou.

Should have said this in the first post as it made sense in my head at the time. The tach I have on the bike is a Cb750 original tach. I'm thinking of BUYING a CB550 repop because the one on my bike doesn't work for a Cb550
