I’d get the tach/speedo. You could just mount it directly on top of your factory cluster with some self tapping screws. It’ll look badass! I bet you’d pull some trim for sure.
Has anyone installed one of these speedo clusters? and if you have is it worth it or not. My speed sensor is dead and I am trying to decide if it is worth it to buy a new one on eBay or just get one of these which has its own speed sensor. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Ah man, where to start.... the more I read this, the more I roll my eyes.
This gauge is mostly a tach. It goes to 12000 rpm, and it is designed for 2/4 cylinder motors. So, most of the gauge is going to be wrong, all of the time.
Looking at the pictures, this sports a fuel gauge (which the Blast doesnt support), a gear indicator (which the Blast doesnt support).
However it doesnt look like it supports a neutral light, high beam indicator, oil pressure light, or turn signals... all of which are functions you really need.
Why not just get a digital bicycle speedometer? It even comes with a universal handlebar mount.

I have an idea. Buy the speed sensor…..
Hey Neko! I've replaced the speed sensor on my Blast. It's super easy.
Personally, I would NOT want to mess around with trying to get that "universal" gauge unit to work with the Blast's wiring harness. The gauge may be universal, but I guarantee that it's going to be a massive pain in the butt to make work right (and - as 34:19 has mentioned - the Blast doesn't even support the majority of the "features" that this universal gauge is offering).
I'll agree with what Mike said: Just buy the speed sensor (available here: https://st-paul-harley-davidson-buel...eed-sensor-l9c), chuck it in, and get back on the road.
I conseed to wiser riders.
My biggest issue with the stock instruments is the lack of a tach. I don't HAVE to have one I just don't like that it doesn't. I may look at getting a cheap one and wiring it in.
This would be cool. Uses a factory X1 dash
