Exact same design though.

So there wouldn't be any issues with the above mentioned tach on a GZ250??

it was a typo on their page. it is not a single fire tach. it is a dual tach. Apparently they have fixed the error since it no longer says single fire Harley.

great writeup!
i actually saw that tach a few months ago and thought it would work great, but i didnt have the money (or wifeies cinfidence) to tackle it. talked to her about it today....

I don't think I need that
bj says:
... well.... i do....
bj says:
just not now
lori says:
why ?
bj says:
helps keep tabs on the engine...
bj says:
plus, it adds that next little thing that makes it "feel" more like a bigger bike.
bj says:
just because yours is a beginner's bike doesnt mean you cant have the features of the bigger and more expensive bikes. you already got a windshield and saddle bags.
bj says:
just something to keep in mind. i thought it would work. glad someone tried it before me.
lori says:
true
lori says:
more wt takes away from speed

how do you argue with that????

I find this truly hilarious.

The guy wants bling......and the gal is trying to be more practical.
What a role reversal. :biggrin:

[zenbutcher]

hahaha... and did you notice that the only she agreed with was "glad someone tried it before me."... and she's like, "true."

I would never add bling to a bike. Bling subtracts space dedicated to so many other needed items. Been adding needed items for over 4 years and still not finished. :lol:

[b1pig]

not so much "bling" as "function"....

i want to add the tach and a couple other little nic-nacs. she's the saver... i'm the spender.

Functional is good. Makes any ride just a little better.

Simple.

bj says:
Honey, come off it, it weighs as much as a cell phone. Less than a glass of water.
You're telling me that you actually skip a meal and go to the bathroom before you ride, because less weight will make you go faster?

It's very handy to adjust idle rpm to 1300...
Also, the engine should preferably be operated at revs higher than 3,600 rpm - so it's a great and very useful thing to add.

Just don't stare at it while you're riding.

You're right. At least, concerning my blatantly erroneous "simple" statement... :whistle:
