I purchased the 80mph version for my 1935 Triumph. It turned up with the needle on the wrong side of the stop, so good for static display only. It does look good though and I've heard reasonable reports about them.

Get a new glass and bezel and move the needle.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

I did not see any mention of the chronometric clocks. Will these be available too? If so, there will be a lot of potential customers.

The reason I ask is, because I have one on my Matchless & it reads fast. I wonder if anybody else has the same problem.
Also the white easy to see white line is at 40mph instead of 30mph.
Looked at getting an original on E bay & they fetch a terrific price.
