Had to lose the old speedo to keep the ignition switch down low the way i wanted , dead weight anyway, ay Bryan
The old twin headlight setup with its 25mm RHS frame was probly 5kg too

Fitting the pushy speedo was a bit of fun, got the magnet out of a pickup tool, drilled a hole in the disc to fit the magnet into, held the magnet in place with a few subtle centre pop marks

BTW, Is that a P76 I see lurking in the background of your photos? Is it a Super or just (shit, I can't remember the name of the base model)?
