Looking for a speedo and tach combi
« on: April 15, 2010, 11:58:46 am »
Hi

I'm looking for a new speedo and tach for my cb500 cafe build. I have thought about if there are any speedo tach combined into one unit out there? I think that it would make a very cool look.

Or can anyone recommend a cool set of cafe style gauges?

Here's a series that I'm looking at: http://www.electrosport.com/street/speedometers.php

The jury is still out on the interface with our bikes for the speedo, but a few members are working on it and will post their results.  If they get them to work well without mods, I'm gonna be all over these babies.

Yes they look very cool. Maybe an analog tach and digital speedo would look even better?

It takes a bit of digging in the linked worklog, linking another worklog to see that it was actually a one-off custom job cornandp made.

The bottom unit is just what I'm looking for...too bad that it is a custom job.
