Aftermarket Tachyometer/Speedometer ?

Has anyone able to find an aftermarket tachyometer with 14,000rpm redline, i prefer analog gauges like the one in the suzuki bandit 250 with the chrome it looks so classic and the round headlight too. It will clean up the front end of the bike


The bandit gauge have a 16k redline and 180km/h top speed , but i dont think it will work in our ninja , 1st because the front tire size is different it will give different speed readings , for the tachyometer i dont know how it works for a 4 cylinder engine is it 1 pulse = 1 rpm

I'm planning to get one of these the next time one of my 250's gauges quits:

I converted my 250 to a "standard" (naked), so this would clean up the instrument area greatly.

Speed/Tach - cabled

I have not had good luck searching for a tach/speed that takes the wires AND speedo cable.

Does anyone have any ideas or links?

The Honda Super4 Vtec has a tach with a 13,000 red line.

What wires are you referring to? If it's cable-driven, the speedo itself doesn't need any wires. You'll probably have some for illumination lights, and possibly other indicator lights if it's a "dash"/"cluster" rather than a single, plain gauge. I haven't seen any tachs that don't hook up with wires (either coiling around a plug wire or wired directly into the ignition).

Koso makes an adapter that plugs into your speedo drive and converts it to an electronic signal for use with electronic speedos too.

Yeppers, I was referring to the cable driven.
Appreciate the help, with that cable convertor, Now I could look for any system and mount it. I will just have to work on a mounting system depending on what model of Electronic Tach/Speed cluster I choose. Wiring shouldn't be too difficult since I have the service manual, and heck if I really need help with wiring, I am sure I just need to ask around here....LOL
