Help to identify this rev counter mount

[Simon Yates]

I have this rev counter mount that looks consistent with clip-on bars.  Help to identify it would be appreciated.

My old 1969 750 GT had the clocks mounted like that.  What you have could well be the OEM original bit.

never seen one quite like that as an OEM part
the smiths fitted bikes had a single mounting hole at the fork top
this is set up to mount to the yoke where the bar fits
holding the clock like the earlier smiths fitment

check out the clock mount on Marx's ex Cretti 750

Although the stock mounts for the Smiths clocks on Laverdas was of a similar system, it is however, totally different.  Seriously doubt if the instrument itself is suitable for a Laverda, afaIk, only BSA used the same 3:1 tach drive ratio as Laverda.  Most others used either 2:1 or 4:1. 

And I don't see an old twin revving to 12 grand...

That is a home made job.

Bought a couple of rubber mounts like that from Domiracer years ago.

Needed modifying for magnetic smiths gauge cable access.

Rubber mounts are obtainable but otherwise look into domestic appliance drive belts.
