Speedo's a bit gnarly looking. There must have been a reason for that. I'd certainly not be in favour of zero-ing it, and while it retains an element of patina, it just looks totally out of place. It could have cleaned up a lot.

79 GS850N - Might be a trike soon.
80 GS850T Single HIF38 S.U. SH775, Tow bar, Pantera II. Gnarly workhorse & daily driver.
79 XS650SE - Pragmatic Ratter - goes better than a manky old twin should.
92 XJ900F - Fairly Stock, for now.

Yeah, my thoughts too. The speedo could have been restored without rolling it back, at least replace the cracked glass. I mean if they spent all that money to restore the bike, why scrimp on the speedo? Otherwise very nice /2.Originally posted by Grimly View Post1984 GS1150ES (finally arrived, more to come...)

All the good work on his bike was done by contractors. He want's money for their work.
His contribution was the spray can clown colors.
