By the way.
In case your wondering.
amazon.com or ebay.
13,000 rpm tach.
Led backlit.
Comes with no instructions... From China.
I got it figured out first try. Dunno if I would have blown it up if I hadn't or not.
Anywho... Between 10 and 20 bux and I can always pull the wire loom off mine to tell you
how to wire.
Dunno the accuracy yet. Gonna put it against my frequency counter eventually and do the
math.... Eventually.

Looks like a good deal if it is accurate. Do you know or have any idea if it will be weatherproof?

It says I'm idling at 1500 rpm and when I'm doing 55 mph the engine is running at 4500 rpm.
I did do the 16T sprocket mod.
Anywho.
I likey

I tapped power from the stop light circuit. The tach only pulls about 50 milliamps so no biggie.
Used the white wire on the ignition coil for sensing rpm.
