Aftermarket Gauges?
« on: January 24, 2009, 01:22:53 PM »
Anyone know a good website to look at?

I have been googling it for a while and coming up with a bunch of blogs with no helpful links...

 A number of different places. What do you have in mind; inexpensive, mini or stock size, cable driven or electric, oil-speedo-tach- or other? Different sites but can't think of any that cover all of these choices.

I want a cable driven speedo/tach but I don't want them stock. I want something sorta neat, I got the engine done and took it back out now I am painting the whole thing black and green, it's gonna be NEATO. While I was doing the origional tear down I completely screwed the pooch and destroyed my tach/speedo (long story) but the net net is they no longer work.

I've got a 75 cb550f, would that even be possible to hook up a non-cable tach/speedo?

So you mean there is a kit for that or something?

on the koso web site you can down load the directions and it shows connector for the speedo sensors and spark plug connections.
