[Imola Duke]

Can't find that one on ebay Kev ?

[Gilps]

The only one I can find on ebay which may possibly be suitable is this one

He's asking £120 which is about what I paid for my one brand new, like this

Is it plug and play easy gilps? Be looking for one myself soon

[faith-healer]

Scitsu tacho's are also a good bet and they come up on 'Fleabay' quite often.

You need the RED model

There is a round label on the back for identification...No other colour will work on earlier Ducatis

It needs an earth (just ran mine on to the fairing mount), a positive (I spliced in to the kill switch as it stays live and runs down the battery if connected to a permanent live feed) and the signal wire. Take the signal wire off the coil and not the CDI, just piggy-back off the spade connector.
I think I had Elliots also supply a couple of rubber mounts which fitted straight on to the holes in the fairing mount which made fitting it easier. I dealt with Brian who was really helpful.

This is the one I spoted

Says for 4 cyl but not sure what type as its listed for cars and they use to use distributers with one coil so probably different to what my 4-cyl CBR600 would use with its 2 coil wasted spark setup
Similar problem with Tachos that will run on a 916 with its 1.6m ECU but not on a 916SPS with a P8 ECU.

I have nice direct powered Scitsu here with RED back sat on the shelf, but fit it to a DD bike and it reads twice the revs that it should, I think its been altered internally to work on a SPS, caught me out when I bought it for my DD bike a few years ago.
Must try it on a SPS sometime to see how it reads
