Title: Still looking for a tach to put on the 02 stone
Post by: Joliet Jim on March 28, 2015, 01:40:07 PM

Any recommendations? I'd prefer something that could fit in the old speedo mount. That died and I'm now using the gps for speed.

When my tach dies, I'm going to switch to a speedo only dash. With 15 years on the Bassa, I know when to shift w/o looking at the tach.

Well I am confused Jim, your title is asking for a tach and you talk to needing a speedo too...?   I have a new green face speedo in a box on the shelf at home, I want to say that it is 120 (?) MPH speedo but I do not recall. 

I also will not be home until 14 April.  Let me know if I need to have the Wife go find it and send a photo.

I too find no need for a tach anymore with a Guzzi, the V11 Jackal that I have out here is just such a reliable, strong runner, I can hear when to shift.

Best,
Rob

Well rob the speedo went last year so I've been relying on the gps for speed and tripmeter. My thought was putting a tach where the speedo was since I've always valued a tach more than an inaccurate speedo going back to my old triumph days when that was all I had. An old vdo.

Might look into one myself. Oh and they are "Dead Nut Accurate!" Sounds painful

If you get one let us know how it works!

See ya,
