Part numbers for Veglia gauge

[78jotadave]

I have a NOS Veglia /Borletti competition mechanical tachometer it has 2 stickers on it with part # 69005300905 which I think is a Laverda part, the other is 6209006 G1 (RAP 1 4) I think that might be Veglia #. Anyone know what the numbers indicate, Thanks Dave

RAP 1 4 is almost certainly the drive ratio.

What Laverda would list a Veglia competizione?

That is what I was asking, as part numbers for tach and speedo in my Laverda part book for a Lav 1200 begin with the same number 69004700 (tach) 69005000 (speedo), and the Veglia I have has 609005300, just wondering.

 

[Paul Marx]

You sure it's a Competizione.

Sounds like a rev counter for the Formula 500.

I thought Laverda’s had a 1 to 3 tacho ratio?

 

[78jotadave]

Veglia Borletti with Laverda part number?

 

[Paul Marx]

Went and had a look at the Veglia on my TT2 but can't help.
There is a label but the years and 36 hours in water make it unreadable.
It's not the same instrument. 2 to 16 000 revs in 1000 rev increments.

Marnix may be on to something but 20 000 revs for a Formula?

Paul

 

[lavgert]

I had a look to the 500 Formula spare parts catalog - parts number of the rev counter is 69 005 300.
Ciao, Gert

Laverdas indeed have 3:1 rev counters, except the Formula which cam has a 4:1 ratio.
20000? 2000 you mean, Paul.

Well, I mean 12 000.

 

[MarnixSFC]

Well, I mean 12 000.

Formulas are happy to rev beyond 10.000. Not that I’d recommend doing that for too long, but in the heat of the battle..

I would be very interested ...... but the 1:4 on the label steers me away. Sorry.

Yeah Jim, as I discovered from the experts on this Forum thru posts on this thread the 1:4 ratio is used only on the 500 Laverda, it does fit many other vintage/classic Italian bikes.

I' ve got a spanking new one as well that I brought in the mid 80s. I'll dig it out and check the numbers.
Pretty sure it won't suit any of my Lavs other wise it would be mounted to the Motodd.
Were they ever made in a 3:1 ratio?

Got mine from Lance, RIP 'Rickey Racer' in Costa Mesa Ca. I had plans to use it and Lance assured me it would work on the Jota??? I trust the experts on this site that Laverdas use a 3:1 ratio, Lance had a Lav triple dragster that was fitted with a Veglia like the one I have (looked the same). I will try to find those dragster photos very unique bike, custom drag frame top of the tank was about 18'' above the ground big square profile slick tire and automobile wheel on the back, very interesting machine. saw it run at Pomona drags in the '80s a consistent class winner. Lance was selling it I wonder where it went?

 

[piranha-bro2]

Wonder that class he raced it in ()and against), Dave, and what his best times were?

I would really like to know if these Veglia tacho's can be had with 3:1 ........ I have asked many places that repair them and no one seems to know.
