I had an acewell with a vape for a while. With resistor plugs I had no issues.
Nice and small, similar to the one in the pic

I bought it off ebay a while back.
Mine is  the ACE 3701 model.
Different model numbers have different combinations of the lights down the sides. Mine only has turn, brights and neutral.
I bought a pigtail for the speedo that fitted right into the stock RD drive at the wheel, but I could never get it to work so I have a magnet glued into the front disk..

Awesome, thanks! Going look them up when I get a chance don't really need any dash lights except neutral. Will be perfect for my street tracker build

My bike has gsxr forks, but i glued a small magnet i got from amazon into one of the small holes in the disk with epoxy. Then made a small bracket out of aluminum off the fender mount to hold the pickup sensor.

While likely not the digital look you are after, Scitsu makes awesome ... electronic  :umm: tachometers that are reminiscent of factory race bike tacho's but have no mechanical parts. They sense the pulses from the plug wire and use an internal battery to move the needle.
