Did you make the tach speedo gauge or is it one you purchased?

I made it here is what I used  .... combo Tachometer / Speedometer --- Tach works and Speedo only counts miles no MPH ...the green Digital is from a bicycle computer for MPH...  I used a speedo from a Norton green dot  --- they are small enough to fit and the trip miles are a separate combo inside  .. the tach is a stock cb750... machining some parts to work with a rear cable drive from a pre unit BSA to fit my CB rear hub ... sorry I will try to take more pictures next time .. post more when I finish.... 1st and 2nd version  ....

It was a little confusing how the 550 gauge with mileage odometer beneath needle morphed into odo above in third pic...
Some bike computers will give you lots of other data as well with wireless pickup or wired pickups depending upon model.  Sigma is a popular bike computer to use in these conversions.
