This should work OK, but why would you want to do it, there are plenty of tachometers available that will fit the MZ.
Making your own could give lots of problems, such as locating a suitable meter for this circuit to drive.

Why re invent the wheel?
:lol:

The nicest one I've seen so far is off a CCM R30 - it has idiot lights built in.

There have been a few on ebay, but I've not got lucky yet!

I will only run out of ways of modify the Baggy when it weighs less that 100 kg and runs 100 bhp at the back wheel!!
