Bryanj:
Talking speeding how about 2 plod BMW chasing a Z1000 for 7 miles and only catching up, outside county hq, because of traffic.
Severe bolocking as they said they were doing 90 and i was dissapearing into the distance but they made the mistake of telling me they didnt get my number at any time till i stoppef!
By the way the truncheon is in the LH panier as one of them had to use it to clout the leaking carb

Looking good James :)
I stripped a couple of NOS Honda Police speedos recently.
There is a little solenoid inside, which when it gets a 12v signal it throws a little pawl thingy into a fine toothed gear wheel. This locks the speedo needle at the desired speed ..presumably to show to the speeding motorist that he has exceeded the legal limit.

Back to the Police resto.
Managed to grab an hour at lunchtime to lay out the various parts I’ve been collecting over the years for this specific build. If you though K0 / Sandcast parts were difficult to fine NOS, think again. Think Unicorn bitcoins..
Anyway, enough of the shi* analogies (Dave’s way better / more entertaining at those).
Looking down, I realise there is a serious amount of £ on the floor in front of me - a scary amount in fact.

Ash - you absolute legend. I was literally looking at a barely-legible wiring diagram earlier, trying to work out how the ‘meter stop switch’ is actuated / works… I’ll need to study the diagram in more detail when I strip / clean / repair the loom.

A manually operated proof that you are speeding. There is a whole world of error/ judgement/ corruption in there. I wonder if the speedo evidence was admissible in court?! Quite likely if it was the seventies..... admit it or I'll punch you ...I confess..
