    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.
    Pro tip: if you must get a tach, get one for a single cylinder motor. Unless you want a tach that reads incorrectly all the time or you enjoy doing the math on figuring out what the real rpm is.

    I would leave the stock speedo in place and get it going again, then add a tach to the cluster assembly. Analog, digital, leds… the world is your oyster.

    I personally think the Blast speedo is pretty decent looking compared to other Buell models back when it was released. The first link that magnesium Mike posted looks pretty good.

    And… tbh, when it comes time to sell, seeing the stock speedo missing and some inexpensive aftermarket unit in its place is going to raise red flags. Especially if you live in a place that require inspections.

    Equis sells a universal tachometer and an inductive pickup about $75 for both then fab a new dash using the stock speedo and tachometer side by side. Just replace the speed sensor, cheap and easy and the tach looks similar to the stock speedometer.

    Tachometers are pointless unless needing to diagnose a running condition, but even then you can still derive RPM from MPH.
