Default Need a speedo/tach!

Hey guys. I just bought my 600f1 without a speedo/tach and am looking to see what my options are. I'm new to motorcycles so I'm not really sure if there are certain types that will fit on my bike. If anyone could point me in a direction, that'd help alot!
Here's a pic of my bike

I bought an acewell 2802 a few years ago before they got crazy expensive. I had to wire it into my existing gauge wiring. Any aftermarket gauge you get will have to be wired in there are no direct plug in aftermarket gauges.

Thanks for the suggestion and info! This speedo/tacho seems like all I need! Is the redline on the tacho consistent with what my bike can handle? (sorry if that doesn't make sense)

Yeah its a 12,000 rpm tach on the 2802 which is what my stock one maxed at before I took it off. Whichever aftermarket you get make sure it has the same warning lights as stock. and separate signal leds for each side cause the hurricane doesnt use just one turn signal dash indicator

Ive heard people using these. They are generic. I think they use a magnet on you front disk instead of the gearbox/cable to give your speed. And it should use the same wires for rpm. Its not plug and play.

I'm actually checkin one out today, hopefully it'll be just what I need. I was looking for one around that price as well. Thanks for the help.
