    Hi All

    Heres the pic of the tacho in my 598 cc Seca. I was told it came from an FZ600 but now I'm not sure as I saw one of those recently with a 10k5 redline and this one is higher at 12k5.. It works like a charm but it was a bugger to squeeze in without drastically modifying the orignal (inner) housing - you will also not that it doesn't sit quite right (too far clockwise) but but that time I got fed up with it..

    Wish my XJ550 Maxim speedo went past 85mph like yours - our government theory in the 1980's was if a speedometer didn't go past 85 it would discourage driving too fast. Didn't work, we used other ways, like the tach, to estimate our speed!

    Nice tach.

    Ta, Keep an eye on UK ebay and you might find a Seca 120mph speedo - assuming it fits. All Maxims here are imports from USA and so will suffer the same issue.
