Looking for the 90 degree adapter that fits to the drive on the Tach.

Are these still made?

Thanks Kevin

I know that Team Hansen has them on their tachos - I just got a quote on a tacho including mounting brackets and 90 degree adaptor.


But unfortunately my pockets arent deep enough for the $1235 they are asking :o :o :o


Where did you purchase your tacho?? I've looked at some smith replicas from an Aussie guy. but maybe there is other options??

I know him well, I'll drop him a mail. I forgot that he does the Tach's.....must be age!

I bought one of the Ozz smiths replica tach's. but it came in a raw alloy finish plus the face dial is not correct. so I made a new housing with a screw on face ring anodised black, and had a new face dial made with the correct look.

I'll take some pics over the weekend.

Just scored a vintage smiths oil pressure gauge 0-160 psi from Ebay UK. been looking for over a year.

Ok!! well, I might have to do the same :)
So YOU where the one who got the  £54 Aston pressure gauge!!  ;D ;D one of our fellow builders gave me a hint, but was too lazy to get in the bidding  :'( :'( I thought they where way more common... guess I should start listen to people  ::) ::)

Ive actually though about buying something else as my replica is turning more and more out to be the black sheep of the replica family hence her name Bastard CR replica  ;) My wallet aint deep enough to go all the way... Most of the build is made with an angle grinder, a hand drill on a small stand and a AC/DC tig welder and of course common hand tools.

I believe Speedy Cables have the graphics for the Smith's oil pressure guage. They might even make you a new guage.

I have a CR 750 tachometer that I installed for a while on my personal CB 750.  Since that time I sold the bike with standard instruments and kept the tach.  If anyone is interested in this tach to build an accurate CR 750 replica, please respond to this post.

@ jhirisak,

Pm-d you through the 4 sale section. Would look Nice on my cr .

@ others; did the same eBay hunt and found my oil pressure also after 1 year. My carbs even took 4 years. It takes time when your on a budget, but it can be done...
