As I get closer to being able to really ride this bike I;d like to get an accurate electronic tach.
I'm sure there's someone here that as used one at some point.
If it has a shift light, even better.

Thanks in advance,

Craig

Depending on the pipes installed I stick with the tried and true hold it wide open till it quits pulling and shift method. With my Denco Killers that is about 7800 RPMS indcated.

I tried like hell to get my Vapor to work, did you get yours to be accurate Tim? I haven't hear of anyone really getting an electric tach to work with all the RF the H2's throw out.

tried filters from Adrenaline Jim.

wrapped the wires in foil
isolated the wires
