    any single gauge tach modifications?

    My speedometer doesnt work cause there is no cable going to it cause I guess its a f3 front end.

    I lowered the forks and moved the headlight down and the stock guage cluster seems high and sort of out of place.

    has anyone modified their guages to have just a single tach guage in the center? I think it would give it a cooler cafe racer look to it.

    Yeah, it's a popular old tech. modification. I got a ally tacho bracket off of Steve Lenac (on the HawkList) and run it with a Sigma pushbike speedometer. I like it. There must be some pics of similar stuff about ...

                very cool. I ll make something in the shop at work.



                so the wiring for the speedo doesnt have to be connected and can be separated from the Tach?

                  Steve Lenac still had some last time I asked. Not expensive.

                  The speedo wiring for mine is just pulled back and tucked away in the headlamp shell in case I ever want to go back to stock. The Bros wiring is slightly different to the Hawk as there's a speed limiter pcb in the speedo shell that has to come out as well. I think it's rather simpler on the Hawk.
