Title: Wire tach on carbed?
Post by: greenmonster on May 02, 2009, 05:17:00 PM
My 907 has mechanical tach and just work so nice, steady & correct.

Have -96 SS heads on my Monster w output f same tach.
Anyone has wire tach on a carbed Monster? Works good or problems?
Seems like wire would get some sharp angles on it over oil cooler & frame, wonder if it will work.

I stopped using the mech ones years ago and only use eclectric ones. Just make a plate to block off the mech drive on the front head.

Swapped a '93 SS900 motor into a '99 M750 a couple years ago and just used the SS gauges including the cable-driven tach.  Worked just fine.

Also if you need a tacho-drive unit for your SS heads, I have a complete setup I'm not using.

Hear, hear!

Quite happy w the 907, thought of even not register the Monster this year.
Took a ride and begged her for forgiveness all afternoon after.... [thumbsup]
A true Monster you`ve modded w love f 10 years is really something special.  [beer]
