    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Digital Gauges Guinea Pig.

your work looks great! I have to say that getting the angle right is the hardest part of a gauge setup. my 450 tach cable is long gone and hole filled in. i would like to tap into a coil for a solution at some point.

Also, there is probably a setting on the unit to adjust how it reads the tach. i bet it is set wrong. it has to be a digital pickup inside the pod, so it is prob doubling the signal or something.
 
Thank you. As I noted, (or thought I did), the tach is cable driven, as is the speedo. There is only one button on the unit. sort of like older digital clocks in some cars that had 2 buttons to change settings, except, just one button that I muddled through a mixture of short and long presses to scroll around to the things you could change (like KPH/MPH). And of course there are no instructions. There is a mire marked "Tacheometer" [sic] that I left disconnected. I can only imagine that it's meant to attach to a coil, instead of the cable from the valve cover. I'm not really worried about it. I know what a 1200 rpm idle feel/sounds like, and I've rarely ever red-lined the bike. Well there was that ONE time. If you want to read about that, here's the link to my Destroy-Rebuild thread.
