yes, but no tach. speedo is metric too, not very useful in the US of A. And this is my play toy, can't stop improving it!  |

Yeah I wanted something shaped the same or close to the stock instrument gauges size but its not hard to cut and fab thin sheet metal like 22 gauge . I think many can display metric or standard units . I would prefer a LED display over a backlit LCD as it would be easier to read and look neater . The CFMoto Glory has a LEd dash which looks super neat but no tach . I think every scooter should have a tach

On dealextreme.com they have a few digital scoot dashboards for $60. Shipping is free, but very slow!

I have a KOSO RS DYNO mounted on my 50cc. It has speed, tach, fuel, water tem, oil temp, and various other functions. It is also back lit so can be seen at night. I thought I had photos, but can't find them.

That KOSO is a big dollar one.
I found a meter on ebay UK about a year or more back that was very inexpensive and it seemed to do everything but what I wanted, measure head temperature.

Yep, it was expensive. I found a couple of photos.   Roy |

I purchased a spark plug ring temp sensor and use the water temp gauge for head temp since the 50cc don't use water cooling. I don't use the oil temp sensor because I didn't want to drill and tap the thin case. But when I do the rebuild with a stroker crank I will.

It has been a couple of years. I got the dyno from enviromoto, I don't know if he still sells them. But if I remember right I got the sensors from koso.com, they come in packs of 5 for about $20.
