There is much to be said for that Koso. Now look at all the decisions I will have to make. Love it guys wonder if we can make this a sticky for future refrence.

Paul, at the top of the first post you will see an option "Thread Tools" click on the little down arrow and select "Subscribe to this Thread" and chose your options after that, now in the future use the "Quick Links" and pick subscribed threads....

This of course is good for any threads, be they sticky or not, and good for this one if it's not made a sticky

Thanks brain did not make that connection. I feel so complete now.

Gauges

I was just reading over this thread and saw some good ideas here. Here is what I'm thinking of doing to my 80 GS750E. Since I can't find any decent used gauges to fix mine, I thinking of going to the Trail Tech Vapor. What I want do is fit it into my existing gauge housing, removing the speedo and tach and fabricate the Vapor inside the housing. This way I retain my fuel gauge and gear indicator. Any thoughts on how I should go about this? I think once installed and sealed up it would look awesome. I'm open to any ideas.

the vapor clocks are very industrial feel and look imo compared to the koso clocks.

I had an XRSR on my 750. Nice unit, worked great but the RPM range was in numbers not anologue which was annoying...

There was something else about it too... maybe you couldn't view the fuel gauge & the clock at the same time. Something like that...

MrBill,

If you have any welding skills you could fabricate a box using the bracket pattern for the existing bracket. A piece of 18 guage stainless steel if you want to keep it shiny or mild steel if you are going to paint it. I don't think it would be that difficult with a little weather stripping foam to water proof and insulate it.

I usually make gauge mounts out of plastic. It's easy to cut, drill and bond, and takes paint well. See the example below (Vapor on a late-model bike, not made by me).

You can buy sheet plastic, and I've used Radio Shack project boxes and computer monitor cases as sources of it.

I've also found that the ignition switch mount is a good place to mount gauge brackets, even if the switch is still in place.

I have a vapor on my bike and it's been fantastic. On my '79, it mounts really nicely to the headlight housing on spacers once the original cluster is removed. Pics to come.

Here is one form a "1967 Honda cb77 Superhawk" No fuel guage but small, simple and looks neat.

Or this one



Still missing that fuel guage though.

Who makes the gauge pictured in this post.... I can't find it anywhere

[Redneck]

Jake - you will need to look for Honda OEM parts it is off a 1967 CB77 Superhawk. I have not looked for it personally yet.

Gearhead- Give us pics my friend we are eagerly waiting.

The nice thing about those speedos that use a magnetic pickup on the front disc is that you can get it to read very accurate if you get the front wheel diameter right. Unlike the stock Suzuki speedos that can be out be quite a bit.
