Finally - Dead-Accurate RGS Tacho + Speedo

[Legs]

Fitted a bicycle speedo to my RGS, dead accurate in accordance with the radar speed check devices around here. Interesting to see the different readings between the standard speedo fed from the front wheel and the pushie one fed from the back wheel as tyres wear.

I put a huge amount of time making the instrument bracket which is also part of the structural integrity of the fairing/headlight mount. I reused the SFC1k Vauglias. I like the period look of them but the RPM instrument has broken it's needle and now nearing 35 years old so both are in need of a good service. Have thought about replacing them with something like Drikko has done but am reluctant to as it's involves playing with ally plate and carbon fibre. Like the idea of an accurate speedo though. Not keen on digital either.
I should really just send them to Jason and stop procrastinating. It's the easiest option.

I'm gonna try one of the 'budget' GPS analogue speedos on the SFQ - black face, same size as the Kwaka one (I scored instruments and twin headlights with a fairing bracket) - looks like a breeze to fit. How it holds up is the big question - about 1/4 the price of the Speedo Hut ones.

Hey Drikko, instead of painting it why not laminate it with a nice piece of walnut burl? Very classy 8)

When I originally mounted my instruments off the triple trees and on the frame-mounted fairing mount I saw a company that did water-dipped printing with various effects. timber veneers ect so I went fake Carbon Fibre. It was pretty naff, so I rattle canned it black in the end.
