you can buy a monstor tacho **fullly siiiik bro** from supercheap even has a shiftlight

But most of them only rev to about 8-10K RPM. It's actually pretty difficult to find a motorcycle-compatible one.
Disco wont need anymore than 10000rpm anywho

Price is right, but a 10,000 rpm limit wouldn't be enough for a smoking RGV

I looked around for a digital tacho for the LC. In the end I got the Vapor.
The numerical tacho goes up to 19,999rpm. The graphical tacho goes to 12,000rpm. Also has a speed inidicator, engine run time, stop watch etc.
