Does anyone have one of these they might want to sell?


I think they were only on European bikes back in '72, so I guess they're pretty rare...

I'd be happy to swap a fully refurbished MPH H2 speedo as part of the deal.


Thanks
Paul

very hard to find as we (continental Europe guys) have imported (with the help of Rick Brett :shh: )many US bikes and the first thing we did was fiting a KPH speedo :mrgreen:

but the fuel consumption will seem a killer as you refuel around 60 (miles) and not around 110 kilometers :mrgreen:

.......and NO-ONE, not even the Experts can tell me the exact difference between an early H2 kph/mph speedo. Is the gearing difference in the speedo, or the external gearbox? I have a couple of early speedos that I took apart and mixed up eons ago, (I know, I know!!) It is not the green paint, at least not on early H2's.... :think:

1973 in Australia......... you could get a H2A with KPH or MPH speedos........ I have both, unassembled, in the same box!

Yep...


I know the H2s were fitted with a MPH in Australia (because the change didn't happen until '73) but I'd like a km/h speedo on my '72 anyway.

If one exists anywhere in the world!
