ZX 50 4th/or 7th/ or umpteenth build...

I gotta build some stuff tomorrow to post up. Thinking about a bar cover/instrument mount. Either way it will be cool to figure out.

Some nice stuff for sure. I just got stiffed on a tach. They sent a 12 second micro playback chip kit. WTF? Not Koso... The China place that shipped mine.

Nice mod...

Man, that's purdy

Just a suggestion for zombie since he already placed his lights on the front fairing...

Man... That is really my favorite food group. crabs/greens/butta/beer. Very nice group indeed. I lived in coastal Maryland for a few years, and Blue claw crab became my instant lifetime favorite food. Louisiana has mud bugs, and Chesapeake Bay has crab. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm beer

Crabs here are found on trees......


The coconut crab...





steamed.....

Zombie, just get a Mychron 4 with ebox!  With the right hookups and data key, it's all you could ever want in a tach/speedo/cht/egt/etc.

I got mine used on Craigslist for about $200 - which is really cheap for one of these.  Still need to add the ebox, just waiting for the right deal.

I way prefer the analog look, and I cant see the digital stuff w/o glasses. Even worse with the sun behind you. I'm thinking about fabing some sort of housing. Maybe full bar cover or just a pod for the gauges... I haven't decided yet.

eeeeew!!!!




@Zombie...    With digital gauges, you need to "read" the readings and it's very dangerous to do during very high speeds.  However, with analog gauges, you only need to position your redlines at 12'oclock and only need to glance if all needles point up. No need to read. Some call it "twisted gauge".

...yup..i've developed an "eye" for my tach needle...

..but then again, i cvt tune by ear as much as the tach anymore..


..reckon i'm one with my scoot...

I prefer analog as well - especially with tachometers.  Unfortunately, I just didn't see many options out there for what I really wanted.  I chose the mychron in the end.  Please do be sure to keep us updated though.  I'm sure that whatever you end up with is going to be nice.

Best,

Preciate it J. ...
I haven't figured the layout yet... Get it today tho. In hot rods I always chose gauges that read 12:00 when all was as it should be. I chose the gauges I have now with that in mind. All the sweeps should be similar. Right down to the speedo. It's sort of oval rather than round to get the needle sweeps aligned. And the Tach. I chose is 16k so the needle will again be aligned with the egt/speedo. No thinking involved that way.
Good point Vivo
