G'day Fellas.
Got the mates HD finished and off the bike lift. What a job  *work*
I then lifted the rHonda up. Both the tacho and speedo decided they'd had enough after 42 years and 162,000km. The speedo would bounce off the stop peg once over 140kph and the tacho needle broke off and was making horrible noises. I found a new pair in the US but the US model has the speedo dial printed with both mph and kph. Only took an hour to fit (fiddly without taking the fairing off) and they look great. I then followed the HD on it's test run and to check the speedo. Spot on match at 60mph and the tacho was showing 3800rpm. Now you know me  *lol*, both worked up too 120mph and 7600rpm till the traffic got a bit thick  *evil*.
Cheers

Rode the Star Twin up to Edinburgh for a works pensioners coffee morning. Having done it and shown my face, I'll never have to do it again. 60 miles, damp but windy, good to be out.
