ordni Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi I am making some big changes on a 1990 fzs600 that has a electronic speed sensor and I was wondering if someone has found a mechanical speedo drive that fits to use with some vintage speedometers Best regards Örn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted July 7, 2016 Moderator Share Posted July 7, 2016 try an xj600 speedo drive, but it will need some machining on the wheel and lug on the fork to stop it spinning. sure you can retrofit an old speedo with new internals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
