81 DR500S meters (speedo and tacho)
« on: August 23, 2015, 11:31:18 am »
G'day.

I'm looking for a set of meters for my 1981 SUZUKI DR500S project.

Anyone see any for sale on internet?

Thanks.

Square like the TS-ER series? I believe i have a NOS DR tacho. Can you tell me the the RPM range and where redline starts and i will check if its right. I think its a ND make. There was also the same gauges made by Nippon Seiki. I bought it for a TS but its wrong for my bikes. Pretty sure it is for a DR. Had no part number with it when i bought it.

I have seen the DR-S ones on ebay Germany/Austria in recent times.

It was not hard to find. It is in perfect condition. Like i said you will need to check the RPM range to be sure its for a 500 as i am guessing a bit here..

$100 + $8.25 Australia post if I can pack it safely enough and still keep it under 500g. Just the tacho weighs 211.5g
