To cut a semi-long story (http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...pic.php?t=9772) short I'm in need of some new gauges.
A local salvaged bike parts supplier wants roughly $850 for a complete set of gauges (plus two mirrors and a turn signal) for my bike, an '83 750ES. Since this is quite a lot of money to spend on a 20yr old bike I'm looking for some other replacements.
I think the fuel level indicator is fixable if I make a new housing for it, likewise with the gear indicator. I think the oil temp indicator is a goner though.
What I need is a speedomenter and a tachometer, as they are completely destroyed.
Motorcycle section at JCWhitney:
These looked nice, and were very cheap - but it seems like the tach is mechanic - and that's no good for me.
The next two tach's were found in the automotive section.
I liked the detachable and adjustable shift light on this one. The 5" would look a bit big on my bike though - the 3 1/2" is perfect.
If my bike had been a different color then the blue electro-luminescent tach would've been cool. White or red is good for my current colors though.
Does anyone have any input on using aftermarket gauges on GS's ?
