electronic to mechanical tach conversion?

[Guest]

hi guys,

wondering if anyone has converted one of the electronic tach bikes to a mechanical tach? my 83 1100 es has the electronic tachy no worky syndrome and when i was doing a valve adjust i noticed the valve cover has the port for the tach driven gear. made me wonder if a mech tach gauge would swap into the guage cluster and i could just switch over.....anyone do this? thanks!!

Since it was available both ways ? Maybe? Does your cam have the required drive gear ? Why would you want to change !

yes, the cam has the drive gear. i would change because it seems NONE of the electronic tachs work anymore, and the proprietary chip that is but one of the components that goes bad is not available....at least not that i have heard of. and i need a tach, more than a speedo.
