Hey Maark, did you buy the one from “old gold”?

No. I am aussie.. I see what what you mean about refuel hourly. Lol..
This bike certainly doesn't look fancy at the moment..
It seems to be a bitsa.. Front callipers seem to be from xs750 or 1100lh on the UK site. Going by measurements of the piston.
But I am getting bits together. Doing front end at the moment. Forks, brakes bearings stc.
Still struggling to find a round tacho though.

Mark, are you a Pom, the RH was sold as the XS1100 Special in the UK I think.

Yeah Mark should have the round tacho, The RH (aka as the "roundy", Round Headlight or Refuel Hourly model) was the only one to have round instruments. An Ebay search should find one pretty easily.

Hi all. Loving all the info on this forum..
I have an 81 RH. It has a round speedo, but square tacho. I assume it should have both square from the shape of the instrument panel..
I think the square guages look a bit chunky, so was considering trying to find a round tacho to match the speedo..
Does anyone know if the round tach was made for this model? Or if and older model tacho would work?

Regards Mark
