Rattler Clock

Ok... I saw a few people had come up with a variety of solutions for clocks - including the watch idea.
Here is what I did ($12 Walmart watch & heavy duty velcro)
Sorry about the flash glare

Oooooo shiny! I get the urge every once in a while to change my cluster... I so want a tachometer

I am kind of partial to analog guages....
i would love to go all analog, but I think that is more work than I am up for.

I'd have to agree. Wonder if automotive gauges would work?

Yeah... I would like something like this... but that is WAY beyond my skills

What sucks is I know deep down inside it can be done. Most automotive gauges are done with electronic sending units... A custom fiberglass case, tach, speedometer, fuel gauge and some indicator lamps. Dammit! I hope it's not a long winter this year

check out tiny tach.

Just google it.

I'm getting one for the stella since there's not really a rev limiter.

this site has gauges for scooters.... cool stuff, but not cheap
the have instructions posted up on the site.... just as I thought... WAY beyond what I want to try and tackle

Actually... they have two models (XRSA & XRS) that look a LOT like the Rattler speedo

Tell me this isnt the same maker as the unit on the Rattler...

Ok... & my french is bad but the button on the left is used to change the tire size - not "no function" like my manual says

Ueah the XRSA looks almost identical. It's be nice to swap it and have an actual trip meter in miles

mine trip is in 10ths of a mile - what is yours reading?

Don't believe the manual... mine is in 10ths too.

I figured out on the ride home it's in miles - I must've forgotten to reset it one of the last times I fueled up because I saw 1018 and just assumed it was 101800 meters (63 miles or so) which was realistic, and I know I wasn't getting 100mpg

I just installed the Tiny Tach. I zip-tied it around the left front blinker bracket. It's a great little device for monitoring and adjusting idle speed.
