I need this in my life.. Do these come with the bigger bikes? Can I fit one to my 95 M600?

Yes you can fit one to a 95 M600...I have one on my M600 '94
The problem you will have is finding one...took me ages to find one and that was just the LED tacho bit, then had to get the surround in order to hold it.

Your best bet is to keep an eye on ebay although I have not seen one of these for quite a while. You can see if anyone has one laying around on here that they don't want but that is unlikely.

Good luck with your searching, they are well worth it :)

what does the M600 rev to?

not much above 8000rpm before the engine sounds like it is in dyer need of a gear change.....the tacho mainly is there for looks and you do most of the gear changing by listening to what the engine is doing

Thats true, but when your really pressing on you might want to look at it before you redline.

I can honestly say it looks better than it is, yep it looks good in the picture but.............

............it doesn't work that well, it jumps, sometiimes does nothing, the LED's are way to bright for night riding, but hey it looks good who cares if it works or not......lol

Good luck finding one, they are rare as now!!

Cheers,

Shandy

May be worth PM'ing Stef. I seem to recall he was working on making an LED rev counter a while back.

i have one of these coming up for sale in short while. it is currently on my bike but will be replaced in the next month or two.
it works perfectly, LEDs run smoothly up and down. only reason i am changing is because it doesnt fir with my 'vision' for the bike. i'll give you a shout closer to the time if you are interested.
cheers,
rick.

I fitted a brand new one a few months back and it works a treat. I did have another on my old 600 which was a little more temperamental like andy says.

Ive got a spare one left in the loft - if the guy doesnt cough up the balance for it (ive been waiting a while) you can have it.

Failing that - send ceepeedee a message on ebay as he had some (and still has the spare carbon surrounds.

Well as I said I'd like one. See what happens and PM what you want for it

I imagine it works fine, right? ;)
