I have always pursued electronic meters. In addition to multi-functionality, I also hope that they can bring visual impact. I have been choosing for a long time but none of them can impress me, and this instrument of Takegawa has brought me a lot of attention. Surprise, full-featured and visually satisfying. Although I haven't installed it yet, I have great expectations for this product.View Detail
About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the super multi DN meter from SP Takegawa. Housing is made from plastic with a stainless steel edging as opposed to chrome on the OEM Honda meter and the display is a mix of analog and digital as opposed to just digital on the OEM Honda meter.About the feeling of use: This instrument gauge has every thing you could possibly want to display your Monkey 125 and I much prefer the look of the analog tachometer displayed when the motorcycle is turned off.Products to buy together: A SP Takegawa oil drain bolt would also be desirable to purchase alongside the super multi DN meter so you can display the engine oil temperature on the digital part of the display.Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about 2 hours to install and setup. Remove the headlight and OEM Honda meter then position the switching wire, temperature wire and tachometer wire. Install the meter bracket followed by the meter and connect up all the wiring to the meter. Now follow the instructions on how to setup the meter. A little difficult to do.Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting one hell of a instrument gauge that is able to display everything you could want on the Monkey 125 but the price is high as compared to the previous tachometer I was using from SP Takegawa that did a fantastic job but is missing a few features.About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght was my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but currently this service is unavailable from Japan Post, EMS is much faster which is nice. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: Like I have said multiple times this is one hell of a instrument gauge but if you have unlimited funds then you will want to purchase the super multi TFT meter from SP Takegawa that has a coloured digital display.View Detail
About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of the small DN tachometer kit from SP Takegawa. Stainless steel housing with a black instrument face and analog RPM needle.About the feeling of use: This tachometer displays so much more then just the engine speed. A compact unit that allows you to continue to use the OEM Honda speedometer.Products to buy together: The SP Takegawa engine drain bolt would also be desirable to purchase alongside the small DN tachometer kit so you are able to display the engine oil temperature from this location and should really be included in the kit.Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about about two hours. The mounting bracket needs to be attached to the speedometer mounting point, the headlight bezel needs to be removed to access the electrical connectors, you needs to run wiring for the ignition and temperature signals and then mount the tachometer and connect the wiring. A little difficult to do.Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a well featured and stylish design tachometer perfect for the Monkey as compared to the tachometer from Daytona that maybe cheaper to purchase but lacks features and the looks.About shipping and packaging: Sea freight was my preferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but currently this service is unavailable from Japan Post, EMS is much faster which is nice. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: one feature that you may like to have but it missing from this product is a gear indicator which can be had with the super multi DN meter from SP Takegawa but at a higher cost and removal of the OEM Honda speedometer.View Detail
The fitment was great installation onto a Honda monkey 125 and the parts needed were in the box for a clean install the only problem I can't read Japanese so I used Google lens to change to English also shipping is super fastView Detail
* About quality and texture, Universal tachometer that is positioned nicely next to the OEM cluster with a specific mounting bracket for the Monkey 125 and connects up to the OEM harness with a specific adapter harness for the Monkey 125 also.* About the feeling of use, The OEM cluster is very cute with it's blinking eyes and I was not wanting to change out the whole cluster on this motorcycle but the absence of the engine RPM was terrible. This product has now resolved my issue with minimal change on the appearance in this area.* Products to buy together, I am still wanting a clock to glance at while riding and the polished analog handlebar mounted one available here on Webike will look great on my Monkey.* Difficulty of installation, The install process of this kit was very enjoyable with the mounting of parts, laying of wires and gauge setup. The process was completed in 90 minutes with no difficultly.* Cost performance and comparison with other products, The cheapest option for a tachometer for the Monkey 125 is from Daytona but for the little extra cost of the SP Takegawa one is definitely worth it as the styling matches so much better.* About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 6 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems.* Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, SP Takegawa now offer a tachometer kit with a built in digital clock if you prefer that feature over the rev indicator.

* About quality and texture, The stainless steel bezel matches up with the OEM Honda guage but the orange LED backlighting does not which is a shame and that is why I have only given it 4 stars.* About the feeling of use, The OEM Honda guage is lacking in features and with the addition of this tachometer I now have everything I need to keep me happy while riding. The RPM reading and the clock are my favourite features.* Products to buy together, This tachometer has the ability to display a temperature reading with the parts included in the kit but if you would like that temperature reading for the engine oil you will need to also purchase the SP Takegawa drain bolt which has a recess to secure the temperature sensor.* Difficulty of installation, The installation is quite involved with the running of wiring, disassembling the headlight to install the mounting bracket and connect the wiring and finally the setup procedure of the tachometer. The process was completed in 90 minutes with some difficultly.* Cost performance and comparison with other products, Not many options from other brands but SP Takegawa have a few different versions available now, all around the same price. For a part that offers so many additional display features I find the pricing to be good and worth the money.* About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 6 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems.* Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, I bought this tachometer early on and now SP Takegawa have a version better suited to the Monkey 125 with a low RPM scale and a LED backlight that matches the OEM Honda guage.
