Hi all,

I did a search to no avail. Even mister Google didn't seem to know.
Does anyone know of a Tachometer kit or , how to get a Smiths Tacho to work on a G80CS or other Matchy Single?

Mechanical or electronic? Fitting an electronic one is easy enough (if possibly cheating a bit...)

Something like this:

The G80R models were fitted with a tachometer driven off the exhaust camshaft. Also a number of G80CS's used on dirt tracks (in Norway) were similarly fitted with tacho drives (not necessarily factory fitted though).

Very smart looking though.
