New Tach and Speedo was created by SWest
So what is the verdict on the quality of the Tach and Speedo from z1partsinc? I have the opportunity to buy the whole set up for $275. Being they are in the Socialist State of Californicate, I will have to pay sales tax. There is supposed to be a warranty. What do you guys think?

I remember Z-Resto doing a few on here (that were amazing) from the ground up....... I think it was for 95 each but probably is a little higher now and wouldn't include the bracket..... Z1 had them on their site but don't see it now but it came up with a google search ...... that way they are still your originals and not after market.

I had bought a set on e-bay that were faded had a ding on the speedo & the glasses were dirty underneath, because I was tired of not knowing how fast I was going after I'd bury the 80 MPH speedo that came on my bike, so I called & worked out a deal with Bob at Z-Resto to give him my original set & have him rebuild the ones I bought on e-bay
so it probably cost me about the same as the ones you're looking at, because I knew I couldn't get much for the 80 MPH speedo on e-bay
so you'd probably be ahead of the game compared to me, if you buy those & sell your old set on e-bay for 100.00 -125.00

I'll need to buy a new speedo cable. The one I have is spongy. I'll sell my old ones for Parts/not working best offer. That way I shouldn't get GANKED buy a flake buyer.

Just remember that the new after market speedometer and tachometer will not fit your vintage instrument bracket.p

I forgot about that. I'm not sure if he put them in yet. I haven't talked to him in 6-8 weeks now.

I'm paying for them tomorrow. I'm also ordering a cable for it. The Tach is still good. Getting more goodies for the bike too. Pay some friends and bills, then figure what to do next. :whistle:

Well, I ordered them. Should be here Friday. I'll do a write up when I get them and while using them. If they work out, great. I've been watching them for two years. If they're junk, maybe I'll save someone money. We'll see.
