Smiths speedo
You can get replica ones for under £20
And even less with cable http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-SM...8AAOSwT6pVi6lk
It is important to get one with a cable as the speedo end is different from the original Smiths one. Also I think the replicas are magnetic as against chronometric although the have that on the dial to make them look like the original.Last edited by John Wakefield; 02/12/2015, 10:42 PM.

I'm very thankful that people at the time (especially Bert Greeves) took lots of photos of these bikes otherwise we would be relying just on memories.

There is one for sale here http://www.simonsoldmotorcycleparts.com/?id=2384
at 400 Euros that has trip recorder but looks an odd dial & no Smiths logo. These things appear to be making crazy prices for antiques collectors I suspect. At that price you would not dare fit it to a bike in case it got nicked.
Best plan may be to buy one of the replica ones to get the bike road worthy & then swop it later if you can find a genuine smiths on at a low price.

As I've said before, the bike is in a safe pair of hands and I know you will do it justice bud. Stick to your guns and do it your way, it'll be great.
