Had a SIP speedo on the GP, not overly impressed to be honest.
However I would like a small rev counter mounter on the led shield tool box on my S2.
Any suggestions or recommendations? It runs a standard AC system, but does have an MBD rectifier with a DC output.
Electrical only, as I'm not looking for a Smiths cable type run through the crankcase.

Ant tambs did some.
Switched DC feed and pick up off the green wire
They are off eBay but he calibrated them.

What about a tiny tach ?

This is what I use, simple, internal battery that lasts about a year, cable wraps around HT lead. Got this on my series 2 rat, which has a nice original decently accurate speedo. I've got a SIP on my series 3, mainly because the speedo was crap.

Thanks for the link Paul, but I was looking for something more period and round... :-)

. 50mm diameter, black or white face. Call me fussy but...

Gaz, what's a tiny taco?

Tim, sounds interesting. Could you give me any more details?

Tiny Tach tacho are digital but just a small box shape not retro, but they work well.

Tiny tach as Paul said are very simple using only a cable round the HT and react at about .5 second to the rev changes
