[QUOTE="MichaelOrgzey, post: 176679, member: 4910"] Hi David, hi Simon, all a bit confusing indead, I was actually assuming it is the direction of cable rotation that defines the rotation and not the needle direction. I assume Russell at "Chronometrics UK" knows what he's talking about, giving me the information that the instrument is clockwise rotation. What's puzzling to me that the rev counter was actually mounted on my Rapide, but as I said before, wasn't connected. The magneto was converted to manual advance with all the rev counter drive parts present except the actual gearbox. Since the last owner in the US,before the bike went to Germany with the former owner, was Sid Biberman I assumed the parts would work together. So I will try the direction of rotation myself ones I'm back home. Thanks again to everyone helping to clear things up. Best regards,Michael [/QUOTE]
