I am thinking of getting the tach from HotSeat. Does anybody know if it will work with the 500 HO?

The digital units are normally slow. Try to stick to an analog unit, and I think you might be happier.

I just installed the Polaris Speedometer (hourmeter, trip meter, & odometer) and that is pretty big, that's why I was looking at a slim line digital unit. How big are the analog?

Thanks for the help

Ken are you running that 2" hpd tach on your predator? Does it work good and rpm goes up to 10k? Also is it easy enough to see when dragging full speed?

Thanks,
Jeff

Although the VDO/HPD unit will work with the Predator, it only goes up to 8,000 rpm. It has a 2" face, and is very easy to read at speed. I'm working on another application.....hmmm, along with the radiator scoops, sounds like another possibility for the website intro later this coming week.

Yea I'm wanting one that goes up to at least 10k with the new CDI box right around the corner. If anyone knows of one that will work please let me know.
