TL;DR: How do I install and mount a cheapo universal all in one gauge?
Hey guys, so I took my cafe racer out for a ride trying to diagnose several issues with my carbs and pods, I was riding on the freeway at the pace of traffic (about 65 mph), I glance down at my speedo and it says I'm going 100mph. The needle of the speedo is bobbing around and not being accurate so I think it's time for a replacement.
In trying to keep things inexpensive (trust me I want to splurge 500 bucks on a crazy gauge) I found an all in one gauge on ebay and was curious how I would go about installing it. There is no input for tach or speedo cable that I can see, the only "cable" is one that looks like it wouldn't fit into the current system.

It doesn't even have a name and I've found it all over the place. The only thing that the sellers say is "it will work with any 12v system"
Do I need an adapter, new plugs, or will it just flat out not work?
