Kerry, I am not quite clear about your search for a tacho, to be mounted permanently on the bike or just for checking in the garage ? For a permanent instument on the bike I´d prefer a "clock" with hands, not a digital display, not nice to read, even less so in sunlight. I found a type with WIFI properties, might be quite slick for setting various parameters, even odd ones. That could save me from pressing endless buttons when adjusting to different machinery.
Most of times I don´t have tachos, I wring the twist grip till the horizon turns into double view and hands twice as thick - then shift gear. But maybe for learning to know the Vincent I will put that tach on handle bar clamps for a while.
Now that Scitsu offer is real money for me as a non-essential gadget. In Aliexpress there are loads of electronics and I believe a few will be suitable for ht lead pickups by wire windings - when you maybe add some capacitor to the sensor wire ? Electronics do not like voltage spikes so I´d try some filtering first on that wire and see what the indicator does. Filtering just strong enough for the tach to operate at all. They seem to have stepper motors inside moving the hand - so a bit like Chronometrics - in steps . . .
