Question:

I am looking for a writeup on how to install a tach on a motorcycle, mine didnt come with one and im curious to know what the engine is doing. Anyone know of a good writeup for this? Thanks in advance.

 

what bike?

 

this one im assuming:

 

Sorry, its on a 1983 Honda CM450E.

 

It looks like there are dual gauge pods on your motorcycle. Do you need to install a replacement unit or add one on?

A service manual would be of real benefit.

 

One is the speedo, the other one is for indicator lights IE: Oil, turn signals, ect. Im just trying to figure out if its possible to add one to the motorcycle.

 

should be possible, a lot of aftermarket tachs use an ignition pick-up for the signal. might have to rig up your own install/wiring though. *shrug*
