Of course, but then, one isn't even reusing the stock gauges I hope. We don't. :shrug: But I think this guy is driving a street car anyways.

I agree that stock tachs are inaccurate in how they read, however, they are consistant. I know my car hits the limiter at x indicated RPM. It ALWAYS hits it at the same RPM. Does it really matter what it shows as long as you know where that is?

You can add one without a shift light too. A low intesity LED, a dali racing shift light setup and some wiring = in-helmet shift light connecting with the same wires two way comms uses :P
or for a more 'common' approach, a number of companies make adjustable lights that just read the tach signal and light up with needed. Not as adjustable, I agree, but still works.
