Want a Tach on my 2008 R3T

[BillB]

I put this on my 08 R3T:



Digital readout is a water temp gauge. Works beautifully. Model #: BA551B22. See this link:

Hope this helps.

I like that a lot! Did you get the mounting bracket from Koso or have to fabricate something?

I believe that the bracket came with it. It's a little flimsy, but it's lasted 3 years now, with no end in sight. Just need to tighten it up every now and then.

I really like the one on the site with the built in shift light. Just seems kinda wrong to hang a tach on a Rocket that goes to 16,000 though.

I had a friend who is a Triumph tech do it for me. Took about 3 hours, but most of that was the water temp sensor.

Hey there, ksquared. Great choice. I've been wanting the Koso for a while. Three hours? What were the issues? Is it too difficult for the average bear (mechanic). Could you post some pix to show the problem
spot and what your mechanic did to solve the problem. It would be really helpful to others considering the
Koso tach. Maybe even a list of bits and pieces needed to help complete the install?

I quite like the small 48mm BLACK LCD Tacho from Koso - I have one recalibrated as a GPS driven Speedo. Has digits and sweeps.

The REV indicator bars can be program for 10 000 15 000 or 20 000 RPM to make it fit on all type of engines

The little bracket Koso gauges come with - WILL fit 1" bars perfectly IF you take the rubber sleeve out. 7/8" with the sleeve in. It is however rather tacky looking. It's Stainless steel. The "Y" shaped arm it mounts to has rubber damping too - so no issues.

I used a different method to locate it below and between the R3 standard gauges.

Awsome...
Just picked up on this thread and bought one, exactly what I've been looking for.
I guess the time consuming part would be accessing the top radiator hose to fit the Temp Sensor Housing. Thanks ksquared.
