Hi, not looking for anything fancy just a neat digital tacho that would have also the provision for CHT or EGT and can easily be transferred from scooter to scooter. To be mounted in/on a small bracket at the top of legshields or on top the toolbox.
Any ideas or links welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks dapper, I dont mind analogue either It's just those look a too modern. I know that sounds odd when looking at digital tacho's but if analogue it would have to far more classic looking with a sensible scale - maybe up to 9-10 thou rpm. Also like the Krober ones but they're expensive, you lose the EGT & will need re-charging if your not DC/Battery.
This one looks alright on their site. It says you need a battery and theres only water temp.

Edit: just looking at the LTH site, they show a 9v batery pack intended for Koso instruments so that'll be what's used then

Would be interested to see what other people are using too please..
Thanks.

Does the tach sense revs via a small wire wrapped around the spark plug wire or via plugging in to the CDI?

Oh well, it seems it's not easy to find a small digital unit with EGT.
Had a look on the Koso site their Stage 6 one can have a CHT sensor fitted though.
