    Electric Tach On a 82/83 GS1100ez

    Is there an electric tachometer that can be fitted into an 82/83 gauge cluster... or is it very hard to modify a GS1150 gauge cluster to work on my 82 GS1100EZ? Im gathering parts to swap heads to an 1150 head that, of course, doesn't have any tach drive.

    I do have a GS1150 gauge set and wiring harness if that would be easier to mod to work.

    Thanks!

    fwiw, i fitted a gsxr gauge set to my 1100 es, mech speedo and electronic tach, required some massaging of the wiring and a bracket that i fabbed up, but pretty easy and looks like it belongs.

      That's a good idea too. I haven't really set the gs1150 gauges next to my gs1100 gauges to see how close the wiring is.
      Honestly, most of the "information/warning lights" on my gs cluster I could do without anyhow. I like the turn signal, high beam, gear indicator, and maybe the kickstand warning light.

        I'm running a Trail Tech Vapor computer on my 1100E. Took some fiddling to get the tach working properly but now that I have it there it is working very well. You can get a small additional 'dashboard' that goes around the Vapor body and has indicator lights for turn signals, high beam, low oil pressure and neutral. I used the handlebar mount for this year while testing it and making sure everything works as expected. I plan to take the OEM gauge cluster off this winter and permanently mount the Vapor in its place for next season.
