Cheers bud. Took alot of pissing about to get it how I wanted it. And I learnt that the lenses in the original clocks are actually glass - I always thought they were toughened plastic.

Next time I see you I'm going to bend the ear off you about this, I can't get over how well it looks.

Looks nice, but was there any reason to change the genuine rvf speedo clock to a koso aftermarket one?

(I have nice set all boxed up which was only used less than 8K from new on an rvf RT, will keep these original).

Jas, he's done a hydraulic clutch conversion so he can't run the standard speedo drive, doing this means a pick up off the front wheel.

yup what he said + it reads in mph.

and to be honest, if i could get a rev counter big enough that matched the speedo id replace it too.
