Between this post and others, I got the tach added and it works great. Thanks everyone for the great and assistive posts.

Does anyone know of any other mail order places for BMW parts? KFM isn't taking orders from Canada these days due to a DHL issue. My local dealer in Toronto offered me a decent price of $780CDN/$570US but that's still almost $100 more than KFM's price.

Any idea if the parts numbers will work for the 2020 Pure?

I've been influenced by this post. My order from KFM shall be here today, I foresee a busy weekend: (still have to mount the Hepco&Becker engine guards before the shiny brand new rev counter...

Hi there
Can anyone confirm that this is the right parts for my Urban

 

[Alligator]

I received mine for the Urban GS and I have the same part numbers, however they still lay on my desk, waiting for being fitted.

Those are the part numbers I used when I ordered the rev counter and support bracket for my Urban.

And did it fit nicely with the clutch cable and all other wiring on the outside of the clocks or?

About that I don't remember where, but there is a clear indication in the forum on where to recover some slack for the cable. Check on the left side, the clutch cable comes out from under the battery case. There's a clip on the frame that you can unclip the cable from to get additional 3-4 cm slack. You should be able to push it up to the triple tree from there, if it's to stiff, you may need to work its path out from under the gas tank.
The theory is all there, now I need the practice...

cool thanks for your input

i have also seen some post regarding this and apparently the Y shaped plastic holder for both of the clocks differ in part number from the different R Nine T moddles

I had to find some slack, but it fit just fine with the stock bar and clamps.

And here's the discussion I was mentioning for gaining a bit of slack from the clutch cable, if necessary: Here

Just added the tach to my /5 today. Ordered the tach and kit from KFM Germany on 10-Sep and received in Chicago on 20-Sep. It was a wedding anniversary and birthday present from my wife, which makes it that much sweeter. It took about 45 mins to install from gathering tools and putting everything away. The install went well without any surprises or issues. Love the tach and literally got used to it within a couple of mins of riding. Highly recommend the tach add for those who are on the fence about it - worth it.

A bike without a tach is like a dog without a tail. Some might prefer it, but I want to see the engine wagging that needle.

That is an awesome quote. Gave me the widest of grins.

Hah

Considering that I'm deep in the thicket of parenting in a pandemic, I'm happy to have accomplished anything.
