The odometer looks odd....

Whoops.....inverted on re-assembly???

I have came to the conclusion that I am putting on a nice set of original gauges back on, all the restored gauges look like crap the more I see them, It doesn't matter who did them. The rings don't look right and so on. :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

Well after working on tuning the H2s Im back at the 69, sent the speedo in and he was laughing all the way to the bench,how funny was that. I did the seat and will for sure keep my eye out for a good original seat as the seat cover material just isnt the same as the original :roll:It turned out ok though. The front fender is on and rebuilt the forks. Came across a great set of A and B boxs also.

Yep thats correct, I purchased some NOS tach and speedo covers that are correct for the 71 H1-A, Part #25012-003, I am putting them on my 69-70-71, I cant stand looking at those buggered up bottoms after a rebuild. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: They can come off with the rip of the hand, :D

Very nice. Reproduction Decals is stocking the reproduced gauges from Doremi. They look good and Andre says the quality is excellent...unfortunately they seem to be only available in KPH.. :? At $400 for the set...it might be worthwhile. They come with wiring included.
