If this happened after running with the tripples I would double check the wiring up to the gauge pod.. I'm betting you melted a couple wires with the new pipes...

The tach and the gas gauge use the dc circuit on the single headlight sled. That is why I suggeted the smoothing condensor. It acts like the battey in an electric start sled. W/o battery in an electric start sled both gauges go baty.
