    Ok I want to find out if anyone could help shine some light on a few items. I have a 81' Seca 750 and I want to swap out my perfectly good headlight and instrument panel (gauges) with a round headlight (7" or 8") and round gauges off a Yamaha of some other type. I would prefer black shells. Also, I would like a more simple stock indicator panel. I want to say the old Heritage has that set up but has a mechanical tach.(I need a electronic tach) I guess if I had to I could paint them if not black. If, I can find these parts I will sell or trade mine parts. The instrument panel I have, has a carbon fiber face plate. Really cool and easy to do...anyway I hope you can help out...Thanks!

    I just installed a Danmoto 180 digital gauge on my CB500/650. Very pleased with it so far.

    Those pics are from before programming. It's now in MPH and is very accurate. Tach works nice. Only thing I can't get it to do is reset the trip odometer.

    I guess I am looking for some Maxim Parts....? Does the Maxim 650 have a electronic tach? Does anyone have Headlight and gauges for sale? Surely someone wants to donate or trade me for my Seca 750 parts?? Any takers??

    The later 650 maxim had an electronic tach.

    I would suggest a 7" headlight, as they're far more common than the 8". As for the instruments, I personally like the look of a pair of simple, analog tach/speedo meters. Just a speedo OR tach works too, with a bit of brain power. If you want a specific color, be patient with the spray can..

    On the right bike (midnight max with steam punk cues maybe?) I think an old 9 or 10" brass acetylene car lamp converted to HID would look good... IJS
