Missing tach needle : Honda CBR 600RR Sportbike Forum : 600RR.Net

It just up and disappeared?

It was there...then it wasn't! Haha.

I took the enclosure apart and couldn't find it.

Question is...is there any place to find one of these? Could I make it? Possibly source it out of another gauge?

Opinions would be welcomed.

(04 RR if it matters)

Thanks!

id look around for something cool of similar size to replace it with. think you have lots of opportunity to put somthing really cool on there

Maybe you revved your bike so high the tach needle jumped to another dimension ;)

i agree with CLX... you have the chance to get something really cool as a tach-needle.

little mini toy sword
little mini dildo (if that your thing

)
little mini fake chain
get one that reads "just right" when its straight up and down

etc....

Mickey mouse hands like the old school watches!

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be changing if for anything other than a stock needle. Chances are anything else you put in is going to weigh more which will interfere with the readout. This is true for cars and can't imagine it would be any different for our bikes. I had heard that even a layer of paint on the needle was enough to bugger it up.
