Trej Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Nah keep it strictly mechanical I reckon. Gages and dials win over LEDs any day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moglix Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 yeah, i've always hated the led ones, but started thinking about them...small for the win i reackon, but if anyone has any good pics/ ideas about placing and led one etc could be convinced maybe?...

Chris.QCR Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Def use analogue. Its old school styling. If you had super sporty tires and clip ons and a modern tech paint job then yeah digi gauge but not this style. That mini would look ideal. And only a speedo. your ears work well as rev counters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 have this surplus to requirements if you want it cheap. think it's 2.5 or 3", brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Wonder how hard it would be to change the gearing on that to suit my CB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 It seems a lot of them are 1500 rpm = 60 kph, All of the speedos on jap bikes I have come across are that. I dunno about that smiths gauge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moglix Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 That smiths ones rad, bugger my plans just to follow the missus at 50 and 100 and mark the glass... i have a kz440 speedo surplus too... just looked too big with the small front light..

Steelies Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 if it's the same as the ones on tardme it'll be 2:1 ratio, not that that really helps. got that one with my ariel to replace the white faced broken glass original. why would you replace that??!

moglix Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Replaced it as now i have a much smaller front light and the standard one looked really big up front in relation to it... would have liked to use it, but looks bulky.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
