The current 'Smiths' electronic tachometer should show up in the attached link. It'd for the grey face version but they do a black face one also.

Very good units.

OH - that's neat. Thanks for drawing that to our attention.

I wish there was a tacho suitable for mag-equipped bikes though.

Google is your friend. Lots on the web. They work by inductive pulse from your HT lead.

The ones I've seen are 12V, so not much good for an early Goldie without doing a 12V dynamo conversion.

Not difficult to do. I'm running my 1948 ZB32 at 12V.

Hi,

Some have battery and so are self contained.
