Alright here's the deal. I have an '83 GPZ 550 with an '81 GPZ 550 motor. The motor has a pickup for a mechanical tach but the display uses an electrical tach. The tach is properly wired but something is wrong with the actual mechanism. So I wanted to switch to an aftermarket mechanical tach and just modify the display panel. Was wondering what ration I need and it this would work: cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycle-Chrom...dZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V ?

Thanks,
Nate
