Tachometer
TangoZulu:
So, who has come up with the most elegant solution for installing an aftermarket electronic tachometer on the 175/200 twins group? By most elegant I mean: it works; looks good; simple to install; reasonably priced and is preferably analog.

Late to answer this but I'm seeing these now on eBay and would like if anyone can verify if they are an original option.

Looks like a nice after market tacho for the 175. Can't see any link or confirmation to Bridgestone or Rockfords on pictures. Date on the side of manufacturers box is 8/78, so too late to be an original fitment.
Looks chunky on the 175 bars but that is what young riders would have wanted back in the day..........hey, I've got a tacho!! Looks very period.

Thanks for answering. I didn’t catch the date on the side, that’s a dead giveaway. And I agree it doesn’t look right but I haven’t seen a real one yet.
Onward!

The ebay seller is dead wrong, that is not original BS, its just a cheap aftermarket parts that they were
selling. That company sold those to fit almost any early bike. I had one on a Suzuki, it was crap it read
completely wrong but made you think you were really flying. banana
