HB: Handlebars rev counter cable

[davidd]

Wow, that is a lot of expensive gear to mount on the front axle! Sorry, I thought you were mounting it on the suspended portion.

the revcounter is working,but the cable is on the inside and touching the headlamp.is it possibble to turn the Instrument upside down and use an other clockface?the pointer could then be positioned in the right place.

 

[Chris Launders]

Yes, it doesn't matter which way up the instrument is, as you say all you need is the clockface

I rotate mine to put 6K at 12 oclock, I still copy my heros from the MCC Trials....

i have the bracket for the black shadow speedometer and a three Inch revcounter.with the speedo no Problem.but how does the rev Counter cable finds ist perfekt way from the gearbox on the Timing cover to the Instrument?best regards Erik

In 1967 I fitted a 5 inch rev-counter and the cable takes a gentle sweep up to the head which in the attached photo can be seen behind the headlamp and to the right of the standard speedometer. Hope this helps
