[QUOTE="ZXnVS, post: 272990, member: 4042"] Motorcycles have gone almost exclusively to electric gauges recently. In that case the main difference is weight, the electric ones being much lighter. I believe a mechanical boost gauge would require a hose, and the boost pressure would directly activate the needle against a fixed-rate spring. An electric gauge would have a sensor in the engine compartment, and just electrical wires to the gauge itself, where a tiny stepper motor points the needle at the appropriate number. It's basically a "digital" gauge with an analog display. [/QUOTE]
