Just found a timing cover and attached tach drive on Ebay for $120; given the cost of a tach drive alone is $100-300 depending on source, I went with this.
The timing covers on all G15s and related models I've seen online have the tach drives oriented vertically, clearing the exhaust and routing close to the gas tank up to the tach head.
The timing cover on my bike doesn't seem to be original and has the cable oriented 45 degrees towards the downpipes; this causes the cable to run askew and hard on the pipe, and may exacerbate the tach problems. It also looks awkward and puts the cable in an exposed position, so I'll give this one a try. Hopefully between all the parts I now have, I can frankenstein it all together. Not super-looking-foward to opening up the timing side again, but c'est la vie.
