  • Need New Speedo and Tach

    Does anyone know where I might buy a NOS or new replacement speedo and tach for a 79 XS1100SF? Both my speedo and tach have seen better days and do now work correctly and are rusting on the bottom. I'm sure oneday a used set will show up on Ebay but I'd rather get a new one if possible.

    Thanks

    Hey there Dbyers,

    I recently checked the OEM parts #'s for both speedo and tachs on Cycle-parts.com, and they only had the Speedos, about .... are you sitting down?? IIRC, it was at least $170.00 if not more!!

    I'm actually planning a tech tip for replacement Speedo and Tach's for the XS, mostly for the Specials, cause you can find the round ones, not square ones!!!

    JCW has a 160mph 2-1/4" diam face, 2-3/8" diam housing which is about 1" smaller than ours, but at $39.95, the price is right. They have a tach, but it's mechanical, says for ALL yamaha, but they mean all MEchanical Yamaha's!!!

    At www.sunpro.com they have the Powerline Performance Tach at the following link:
    Sunpro Tach

    which reads to 10k rpm, and can be wired to the negative side of the coil, set for 2cylinder engine cause they provide 2 pulses for 2 full rotations of the crankshaft, and running off of 1 coil, with our waste spark system, 1 coil fires every rotation of the crank! That tach is about $110.00, it has a larger 3-1/2" diam face, comes in Black face with white, same style as the aforementioned Speedo!

      WOW that's $$$$

      Thanks for the info. I'll keep my eye on e-bay and hope to come across one that is in better shape than mine. I saw the JCW ones but had hoped to find a more stock replacement for mine. This bike is fun but man can it become $$$$ quickly. I'll check out the links you sent and save my nickles and dime.

      Thanks again,
      David

        the whole gauge cluster

        i currently have two whole gauge clusters for sale one reads 17k and the other is at 24k. the 24k one would need to have a different face surround on it (it has a couple of dents) other than that they are in good order. check out my ad in the classifieds.

          Have complete set off a 79special. Will pull them out tonight and see how many miles on the speedo and general condition of them. Let me know if you are interested.
          When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g Hardbagger
