Aftermarket Tach/Speedo

[MRDRcycle]

Hello,

Does anyone know of good options for and places to buy aftermarket tach/speedo's for the RD350? My stock unit recently crapped out and I don't have the $ to refurb it just yet. I looked around on mike's XS and they seemed to have quite a few compatible units. I don't really know of any other reliable place to find them.

They're available on Ebay, made for the Rajdoots. Under $50 for the set.

also remember, kawasaki and yamaha use the same ratios in the gauges.  so it opens the options a bit.

i-might- have a decent stock tach i dont need.

Man that is cheap! I like it. Do the Rajdoot tach/speedos fit directly into the stock housing?

[m in sc]

im prety sure they will. even though they mount like an r5 gauge on an actual radjoot from what ive seen, i think they will fit right in. .02

How about a Tach that doesn't look too modern?

[Czakky]

Can an R5 and RD350 be swapped?

Sorry about the thread jack... it all seems appropriate

[m in sc]

fair considering.

the mounting is different. then,t he mounting points on the tree are different. (can be overcome with a simple bracket) so, if you make an adapter to physically mount them, then yes, they will mechanically work when swapped.

These look like they "may" be a direct fit. My dad uses this site sometimes for Royal Enfield parts. I figured it would make sense that they would have RD stuff too. It looks like they have the "R5" version and this one as well.

Rajdoot  spec Speedo/Tacho are replicas not oem replacement, most of them would not give true reliable readings and needle on tacho starts jumping post 3k rpm. Incase you insist for retro gauges, Mark has a set to offer, else oot for something modern
I doubt, Rajdoot gauges will fit into Rd350 housing. They can be bought for $10.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to look around to see what is available and might check back with mark as well. I've got some carb work to do and then these are next on the list (hopefully it stays a small list :/ )

i dug and dug, no good RD tachs in my stash. well, 1 , but its my only spare and im not giving that one up. sorry. 

[MRDRcycle]

Thanks for looking and no worries man. I found a lot of options that will fit on mikesxs, but will need to figure out how to mount them. I guess I'll need to relocate the ignition as well.

Rajdoot speedo and tacho sets are as good as originals as they were made by Pricol or Yankey ?? All Indian RDS use the same and they work as good as any 70s units do !!

But the ones available on ebay are copies and quality wise I would not prefer .. The used Rajdoot ones are getting sold for 89 90 USD in India as they are rare to find like the 70s ones in USA.

Secondly the male coupling & threads are bigger than the USA models so you need to get the  cable end cap below the speedo and tacho changed to bigger ones.
