Alternative tachos for the 748/996/8 series??

Ducnow · 08-Feb-2005, 19:39

Ok one thing i really dislike about the no 749/999 Ducatis is the tachos, speedo's, dash board... whatever you want to call it.
So my question is..... any of you guys substitute those for a more modern digital one?
What are the aftermarket options?

Just fitted this to my 748....

http://www.veypor.co.uk/

....and it does exactly what I wanted and looks very tidy. Digital speedo, gear indicator, shift light, etc. Cost £180.

Can't post a photo as the bike is still on its way back from Almeria, but will try and do so next week.

Hmmm.... look nice. Thanks.
Yeah, post a pic here when you can. I would like to see how it fits on the bike.

where does it go?

Duc soon

I suggest you go to nearest Honsukyamasaki dealer!

Jubilee clip thingy they supply clamps to the top of the left fork leg and the unit sits just in front of the yoke. As such, it obscures part of the original speedo, but still looks very tidy.

Hahahahaha, but no i won't :P

I was kind of expecting this kind of remarks before i made this thread, but i don't care.
In fact the pre 999's dash board kind of reminds me the ones on the old Hon....hon....hon.... (that word i can not spell) CBR's

Hey, i like Ducs and Italian bikes in general (i had an Aprilia MilleR and "have" a 05 MV F4 1000) but that doesn't mean i HAVE to like or prefer old dash boards, does it?

For heaven's sake Ducsoon, just go and buy a bike and join the club.
