The rpm is just the signal wire as the gauge is multifunction so has a supply and ground.  The signal connection is what myself and Roo worked out but could be wrong

I've tried 2 and I think I've tried 4.  I've got it wired to the black with white tracer coming from the one coil, I think that's correct.

It's terrible isn't it Ted, Koso are a pretty well known manufacturer too!

I wonder if this would work

Here's the set up guide.  Mine is an analogue rev counter Ted, I'm thinking of using the wrap around HT lead method of set up to see if that works but I'd rather the hard wired way.  There are no instructions for wrapping around even though a wire is supplied for it

I'm not sure I understand Ted.  The instructions are woeful, in the setup guide you have to select for 4 stroke and 4 cylinders by selecting options that go 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 but on my gauge there are .5 increments that don't relate to anything in the instructions.  It's to chose the number of ignition per cycle.  Clear as mud to me.

I'm running a Dyna S that came with it when I bought it, whether that affects things

Aftermarket tachos on cars used to connect to points side of coil

I'll check later but I 'think' I got it right

All wired up and everything works except the tacho, it's a TNT D64 Paul.

I've fitted a Koso multifunction gauge to my cb550 with the rpm wire connected to the positive of one of the coils.  I can't get it to register anything on the rev counter regardless of the settings I've entered.  Has anyone else on here any knowledge of Koso gauges or similar set ups?  Im trying not to bother Roo again😀

The correct fitment LED replacement from Classic Car Leds seems the sensible option to me Ted, it'll save the charging system a bit and suit my other led upgrades.  It's 3mm longer but I don't think that will cause a problem in the original headlight bowl.

Which O ring? Cover or pump to crankcase?

Pump to crankcase it appears Bryan

*thinking about it now I wonder if its the oil pressure switch, as its fresh oil its so clean its hard to trace but I may just remove it and put a couple of turns of ptfe around it carefully

It's coming along nicely Roo, I'm looking forward to getting it painted but I think I'll get it on the road to get some miles on it first.  Definitely got an oil leak from the new oil pump o rings so whether I've pinched it when assembling I'm not sure.

Thanks Skoti, that looks the best and easiest option.  Mine must be missing a retaining clip or something for there to be an oil seal used to hold the P45T bulb in.

One last question, did you use a 4300k bulb? 6000k might be a bit blue?

I was more wondering I could retain this reflector but retro fit an H4 led Ted
