I’ll have to dig on cb1100f.net and see if I can find the other post. Might be able to share some additional insight from the inline 4 side of the house. Should be fairly similar between the two platforms for the speedometer and tachometer.
there are 330 lines of code, if you PM me your email address I will send it to you.
Sounds pretty workable for what is being accomplished with the Arduino. And tweaking things like this are right up my alley. PM on the way.

That is one good use for the old Gr/Gl cam (PG) sensor placement from the CFI system. Ready made and don't have to do too much work to use. Nice job.

Sure,
2003 - 2006 Honda CBR600RR

Can get them on Ebay fairly inexpensive, and the harness usually comes with it,
but I prefer to make my own instead of cutting and splicing.
The connectors can be found there as well by searching for...

I have 12" steel baffles in them, and the Webers are louder, unless you really get on it,
so they are coming out!
