| Just got the speedo on along with the clutch and turn signals. I am getting a new throttle and grip off ebay... The master cylinder is in on dining rm. table being rebuilt... I also repainted the jug black for the speedometer and redid the headlight cover... I found the double gauge mount for just over a 100 bucks, this single one was in the clearance bin for five dollars! A little modification on this one and I can live without the TACH for now... Of course, still need to hide the cables and such... |

tie up any loose wires.
