spacer to eliminate speedo gear?
« on: December 11, 2016, 02:41:34 PM »
Thinking of running with just an aftermarket tach on my 74 CB550

Would like to eliminate the speedometer gearbox from the front wheel and replace with a spacer.

Only one I have found online so far is from a place called the Power Barn. Anyone familiar or know another source for a spacer?

I believe those are made by forum member Godffery and can be found directly at his site. It might save you $5. I have never bought from him or his website so I can't endorse but I think others have.
