Re: Speedo needed

Looking at your photo of the clocks maybe you could just graft (glue) a plastic coffee stirrer onto the speedo needle and then paint both needles with reflective orange paint, would save a lot of hassle. and when it's stationary the speedo needle will cover up the hole in the speedo face, sorted! :...

Re: Waking up the 400 after it's winter sleep (surprise!)

It’s nice when a pleasant thought turns into reality! After also owning mine (250) for ten yrs and partly recommissioned ( that is without even buying a single item for the carbs) for the first time, it started, purred and made me feel happily excited too!

Speedo needed

Anyone got a speedo for a 250 or recommend a repairer with a good track record? Just dragged mine out from a pile of bits and I’ve got a broken face, mileage arm missing and it’s in kph, so it wants a full make over.
