I'm looking for a serviceable decent looking tachometer for my 1980 KZ750E, not looking for Concours but something for a nice rider. 
Thanks for looking...

eh

The tach for your bike is a one year only part; there is an  "oil" light that Kawasaki changed up in later years.

Thanks for the lead, I purchased this set for spares.

Now, any advice on a Gauge restoration shop?

Hi, not sure where you are in the world, but if you are in the USA, try Clay on here, his forum name is asphalt900. He does a fantastic job.

Commotoed sent me a gaggle of gauges to complete/experiment with. I'm soo Glad he did, took a village of unique examples to get what he wanted. Typical mechanical clocks but different in soo many ways to what i'm used to. They are Seiki instead of the ND's i normally do. Anyhoot, after doing some re-thinking, done. And i learned more stuff, beer can't take away all my brain cells, just yet ha. Plus i've learned NOT to ship/surround your new stuff wrapped in grocery bags!! Seems to outgas onto the paint. Lesson learned..
