Can't help you, but it sure is beautiful!

don't know where exactly that's from, but Benjie makes a similar one, http://www.benjiescaferacer.com/euroheadlightbucket.html

it'd be really neat to see that light with reverse direction gauges and a vertical odometer! just to be even more unique!!

I dig that too but I'm more after the gauge itself minus the bucket. With 45000 on the clock maybe it's not something you can pick up anymore.

some pics from thursdays event...was effin hot outside so i just ran through and snapped a couple.

That is a 7k max tach... might mean using wrong ratio tach or reduction..

Try looking at a BMW R69S.. they may use that..

so i am not sure where to post this question so ill start here. I am launching a new web site with limited graphic tees based on "two wheel vehicles",mainly motos and fixies. But i thought it would be cool to have someones cafe bike from here as a base for a design. It would be representational of the bike he or she owns in artistic form screen printed on a limited number tee shirts. So if anyone has any ideas on where I should start or post this give me a shout or send me a pic of your bike or nominate someone elses and i can get the ball rolling.If all works out i will also donate a couple of tees to the site for auction donation and of course the bike owner gets a tee.
Cheers,
B
PM me may be the best way to let me know what you would like to submit.

Bike of the month thread might be a good place to start. The masses have voted there already

I was pondering on that too

Open the pic up at full size to see wth is going on there.

Edit: I cropped it and lightened it. WTH is that?

Nice! But I'm mostly digging the one gauge - 2 dial action.

I saw someone was making new gauges with Tach & Speedo in one, just can't remember who...

I concur. That combo gauge is pure sex.

edit: added second image.

if you can figure out a way to adapt an electric speedo to the bike i'm certain classic instruments can calibrate the tach for a high-ish revving sohc.

kinda big tho.

Hmmm,
R75/5 Wheel Rims, Front 1.85 B 19

So potentially no problem running the speedo, assuming the cable's the same or could be adapted, but the tach would take some know how to trick it into reporting a 4 cylinder correctly?

Ohhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhh! 5" - I'd have to name my bike Flav

Edit: Dammit. Why does everything cost more than I paid for the bike? Back to carving a bicycle speedo into my tach

Reversed head Triumphs, been around a long, long time..

There is a 1350cc Kawi in town here, reversed billet head, magnusen blower with 2 fuel injectors... mechanicl injection... runs good, and its in a snowmobile..!!

The 5 inch speedo, looks like HD FLH style.. that is used in a dash, over split fatbob tanks..
