Has anyone else seen this or maybe have one of them? I like it's simplicity and the fact that it is out of the way.
Check it out and tell me what you guys think of it. Speedway MicroTach

i think it would be a lot like dakota digital...hard to read, and i wouldn't be crazy about looking to the side and trying to read rpms on such a small
gauge. it does look cool though.

The number of mounting positions are endless. I once installed a gear indicator on a column drop that was like this. Just a single Digit LED that could be placed anywhere as long as a hole was drilled for the wire coming out of the back.

Alain,
Is that a speedometer or a tachometer? The numbers were so low I was thinking it must read in Hz, not rpm.

Alain,
Oh, OK, I guess that makes more sense than planetary revolutions per month which was my second guess. I didn't know how accurate it is.

now i like that. i really miss the gear indicator the old bikes used to have, and of course it's always great to know how well you're bike is charging.
