I don't know about anyone else, but I get kinda tired of reading digital displays while riding. The speedometer is kinda a pain at night since I have to press a button to make it light up every time I want to check my speed, and that tiny tachometer that everyone seems to be talking about on here doesn't seem to suit my tastes (I wonder if it can even light up for night riding?)... I just want to be able to look down and glance at some sort of dial and tell roughly where I'm at regarding speed and rpms.
So I ordered a nos motorcycle tachometer. It's an old analog tach built for an older style 1 cylinder 2 stroke motorcycle and is lighted. It fits right on the handlebar - but is kinda bulky... I think it should work as it hooks up directly to the magneto (or an ignition coil but I doubt any of us have one of those on our bikes).
I hope it will turn out to work. Just a quick question though, what would be the highest rpm for these chinese engines to safely reach? The tach is for up to 12000 rpm with a settable redline marker. If i ever get it to work, I'll post up some pictures.
