The speedo should just be a cable from the front wheel. The tach could just have a dirty plug or blown fuse.I recommend pulling all the plugs apart and putting some of that anti corrosion crap in there.

FOr some reason I can't remember what its called right now.

Radio Shack or similar (don't know what they call them in the UK) have contact cleaners and TV tuner cleaners for electronics that will suit his needs. Works good for cleaning old pots on your vintage Les Pauls also :biglaugh:

silicone dielectric grease is what I use in all the factory plugs.

Yep...definitely want to use conductive lubricants on connections exposed to moisture after a good contact cleaning.

Speaking of digital speedos...

Been thinking about using one of these Dakota speedometers for my USD swap since I've gone the GSXR route: http://www.dakotadigital.com/index....tegory_id=235/home_id=60/mode=prod/prd262.htm

Anyone have any reports on this one?
