did you notice how many bid retractions there were?  Very very odd.  I think maybe someone is being had on this one.

HI,

I'm the seller of this item.

The retract is because my password been hacked and the funny guy cancel all the bid..... good thing there 3 days left.

Also, this is a oem honda part. It is written on it. If you do a few research, it was the same model that was install for the CR750.

I'm not saying that this was on a CR750. But it's the same.

For your curiosity, this has been paid 600$ CDN in the seventies.

Honestly, I'm quite surprise on how high this item is going. But it will give me money the buy a Benjies Seat/tank combo.

i dont even want to imagine what a tach would have to do for me to be worth more than the purchase price of my bike, but congratulations on your find- that seat-tank from benji's is going to rock- how much did you snag the tach for and when?

Klark,

Bought 5 or 6 box of part coming from cb750 1974 to 1977. F an K. That part was in it I I didn't know nothing about it. But after a few search, I found what exactly it was. The last one sold on Ebay went for 1400$ US if I remember.

I'll tell you in a few day how much I paid for it.....but the funiest thing is that I got a second tach on hand!!!!!

Hi Jocelyn, Why are you going for a cafe tank and seat, why not a CR set up ?...you allready have the tacho

See pics of CR in my signature.

Hope you get what the other went for.

Hi Sam,

Good idea for the CR I think if I would go for a CR replica, I would had try to the at 100%. And by what I saw, It cost of the tach is 1/10 of a complete bike!!!

[Sam Green Racing]

Joss, genuine parts like your tach are expensive, replica parts are not to bad.

736 (andy) from this board  had one for sale  a little while ago, he may still have it as I don't remember it selling. I had a chance on that tach and I passed on it (stupid) as it was in a stach od hot rod cb750 parts I bought from a mutual friend.

[jcote75]

Sam,

I have to admit that my first idea was a CR replica. But how do you arrange to still look hot when it is mount for road used?

[Sam Green Racing]

To be honest, when I was building the CR for Chris, I thought it looked great without the fairing, still do.

With lights and a front fender, it would look the dogs bollocks

Sam.

[jcote75]

Well thank you very much!!!!

Now I have to choose between Benjie's style or CR style!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Webby, I have seen the Airtech products and don't rate them.

The equipment made by Bartel Engineering in Northern Ireland are perfect replicas and are very well made in aluminum.
