Sorry, don't have one for sale. The original one fitted to a Silk was a Veglia electronic tacho similar the one fitted to a Morini.  The vibration tended to destroy them.  The Smiths tacho that will fit is a RVC1414 FOUR CYLINDER FOUR STROKE type, 80mm diameter, as fitted to some MGB's. My understanding is that Smiths never made an electronic tacho for a bike so they may not be sealed for really wet weather. The Smiths RVC series tacho should work with electronic ignition, the earlier RVI type probably won't. I have a TIM 80mm tacho on my bike and it works well. Put "tacho" in the search box and you will find several threads on this topic.
