Here goes James ... This was a 'shop soiled' NOS speedo. (Attachment Link)
I wonder if the speedo evidence was admissible in court?
This reminds me of the day when I was coming home from Chester on my CB750KO and I saw a police bike in front of me so I slowed up and he waved me over so we pulled up to the side of the road.He wasn't a policeman but a mechanic doing a road test on a bike that he had repaired (Norton) and asked if I would come back to the garage so he could have a look at my bike as they were pretty rare back then.What followed was a high speed dash to his base in Bromborough with me tagging along behind him at highly illegal speeds, the bike caused quite a stir at the garage with them all complaining about their bikes.CheersDennis
Big pile of CB750P parts dropped at the blasters to be blasted and primed, prior to refinishing with 2-pack (2k) semi-gloss white.Managed to take the NOS rear top box to my local Automotive paint merchant who did a spectrograph colour mate - Fiat Bianco 224 seems to be the closest OEM White - so that’s what I’ll be going with. Will be a few weeks hiatus over the festive period, so next update will likely be 2/3rd week in January..Knowing the speed you work at James I guess the third week of January is when we shall see the completed bike
Fab project - I'm enjoying the updates.Does anyone else watch the reruns of CHiPs on TV? (Channel 96/ Forces TV on my TV). There are usually some great shots of classic bikes and cars in the background or as part of the plot. I was channel flicking last night and it popped up with an advert showing a grey-haired Ponch and a slightly tubbier Jon.... then it told me it was CHiPs 99 and they ride BMW 1100's rather than classi Kawasakis. Nothing is sacred!
