I too am thinking of doing the same. I'm currently eyeing a Koso RX2 speedometer at the moment. But am wondering if the swap out is a pain in the arse or no. I don't mind a bit of a challenge...but would like to know if there are any considerations to be aware of before I begin. -
I am running an Acewell, seems good so far.
The tacho isnt as good as an analogue one.
There is a bit of mucking around involved.Comment

You can rig up a electronic tach rpetty well...that's a 1993 Kat 750 tach.Comment

where did you get that vapor speedo? doesnt the vapor show the rpm's?Comment

That's just a regular Vapor...I got it off of eBay.
The Vapor does have a built in Tach but I had a lot of issues with it on my stock GS750. I likely wouldn't have the same issues on my new Kat motor since it lacks the charging issues my previous bike had, but I really like great big tachs. I'm a ricer at heart.Comment

Personally, I would never swap, nor would I ever wear another mans speedo...Comment

I purchased a box lot of a few speedos from a seller on ebay for cheap and used the one that fit the best.
I think its Honda.
Gear drive and the Suzuki cable matched up no proplem.

I just installed an older Kawasaki cluster on my 77GS... Pretty sure mine came off an 86 Ninja, but Kawi used this cluster on a bunch of bikes.
Made a temporary bracket for now, but will be moving it in a bit tighter. Also had to solder up the wires (correctly) to an old pigtail. I removed the temp gauge and relocated my ignition into it.
You have to wire the electronic tach (the volt meter works too!) and I had to buy a 6" speedo cable extension from MikesXS since it is on the right hand side now.
