larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Auber instruments sells a $60 digital EGT gauge it's great, and remembers the max, and will also trip a relay at a setpoint-so you can have an alarm go off for high egts, or trip a vacuum switch and activate an ALDA to cut back the fuel. The gauge can be recalibrated for boost, voltage, temp, etc. They have a bunch of info on their website.

EDIT: Auber also has digital tachs that run on a magnet. Maybe you could ram one of these on the crank?
EDIT2: The tach has a counter too. With a remote switch yo ucould keep track of how many times the rear suspension bottoms out Or just the starts
On my Ninja I run a trailtech vapor gauge cluster. It figures out speed via a magnet on the front wheel, temp via an electronic sensor, rpm via the coil ground. They're around $100 and work well (except for the tach I wouldn't get it working right)

There are tons of motorcycle gauge that can be reworked "easily". Koso (sp?) makes some qicked super rice gauges that are crazy fun-like changing the backlighting when you hit redline, etc.
If you google DIY tachometer there's more than a few writeups on making a tach from scratch
