Title: Custom Speedo Plate
Post by: tj on September 08, 2016, 06:58:18 AM
I have just ordered a custom speedo plate for my drifter.

I have come across a place that does custom speedo faces in Tennessee. After many changes, here's what we have come up with.

Contact info, if you're interested.

I think it would look cool with subtle LED backlighting.

you can get them in any format...MPH, KPH or both.
you can add any type of script, font, custom backgrounds or colours that you wish.

it was a bit of a pain to take the speedo apart, but it worked out well.

Thanks.
lol 200, not so much.

Never really understood why speedos in Canada, or North America go that high. On the Isle of Man or Germany I could understand...

200km/h on the 401?...no chance.

I had a gixxer years ago. I was on a long straightaway on a quiet road. I went through the gears and ended up at 280km/h in top gear with 100rpm left. I could here a voice coming from my helmet...you idiot!...you idiot!...you idiot! I let off and slowed back down. One thing goes wrong and it's over.

Very nice!  Do you know of any reference material to explain how to disassemble/reassemble the speedo?   If it's not too difficult, I might do this myself!
Thanks

bambam the hat is worn that way to keep the neck from getting burned while watching the game. It is akin to wearing a toque in the summer time. Sorry a wool watch cap during the summer time duh........
