1975 Honda CB125S Brat Tachometer Plug

I think I've decided to run sans gauges. Really just for the clean look, not for any practical reason. With that in mind, I needed to plug the tachometer hole in the motor. I keep scraps of aluminum around for just this reason. I chucked some up in the lathe and got my dimensions.


Got my initial turning done and scribed some lines to locate the groove.


I drilled a 1/4" hole in the middle and then left a lip at the top to make it easy to get out.




Once I tried to fit it, I realized that the motor clearance would not allow me to have a lip on the top so I had to remove a little material. Put a little sealer on it and installed the new plug.
