Good luck finding the speedo! See if you can find a new face for 140mph and fit it to a 120mph chrono and get it recalibrated.

HI
Is the 140mph speedo the correct fitment for the RGS ?

Dunlop Alloy rims seem to fetch more than their weight in Gold  *eek* *eek*
Remember that the RGS uses a WM2 front rim, (Goldie WM1)
The spoke pattern is different between 8in. single sided and 190mm hubs
Like everything of value I have heard of fakes being produced  *sad2* *sad2*
