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
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...STRK:MEBIDX:IT

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

The direct wired REDS can pick up the 'used' spark (and the 'wasted' one) for both cylinders but with the 'soft wired' type with the pickup lead taped to a single HT lead this doesn't happen.

Tony Dawson (who originally produced Scitsu's) will service and recalibrate any of his tacho at very cheap prices IMO

I had an old 'BLUE' which I sent to him for service and recal' and was quoted £30
