Aftermarket Tach/Speedo

I just looked that up. Those are really nice!

I have a R5, couple of Rajdoots, an USRD350 and a 1976 250C. These were built by me from grounds up!, so I can give you a heads up!

Being a purist, I desist from fitting one bike's meter set to another. Each has a unique distinction. But, I have done it once - fitted a 1977 meter set onto one of my Rajdoot. Mod - well yes, enlarging the two holes and it fits straight.   

Rajdoots have a wider meter cover and is compatible with its own meter plate. The center pod is quite similar to later 250s/400s. FYI, its meter plate fits directly onto USRD T plate. If you were to swap the complete meter set, then it is okay.

The ones available are replicas. Have not used these and hence, I cannot comment. Seen many using though. Originals ones and refurbished originals [with its original internals] are good enough. But, these clocks are not as good as Nippon Seiki in my experience. The only advantage with Rajdoot stuffs are in its simplicity. Simple to fit, simple to remove and simple to wire!, unlike the complicated ones of my 1976 C - it has inner damper rubbers, outer cups, wires to be routed appropriately etc etc

One more issue you may face with Rajdoot meters are its drives - the speedo and tacho ends will not suit the USRD cable. You will have to find a wider cable nut to match.   
   
Czakky...keep RD meters away from your R5. If I recall, R5 T plate is about 10mm shorter than RD T Plate. Bike looks horrible if you were to fit a meter set of a RD350 - I tried and swore on myself!

I believe I brought this question up on the old board.  Is there a hot ticket way to mount a single, original gauge (tach or speedo) to the upper triple clamp?  Maybe something from an enduro?  Aftermarket?
