I'm fairly sure the answer to this is "yes", but I figured I'd ask just to be sure. The speedo's that MikesXS say they are calibrated for a 19" wheel, my bike having a 19" front wheel means one of those speedo's would work on my '79 550e right? I wasn't sure if the speedo drive would have the same ratio but google tells me most of the early jap bikes used the same ratio. I e-mailed MikesXS but they won't respond, might be busy for the holidays.
I can't also help but wonder if they actually calibrate the speedo's, or if the 2:1 ratio is just correct. If 2:1 is right for my bike that opens up a lot of different options for me as well. I took my cluster apart and cut the ears off my speedo but I can't for the life of me find any paint or primer that will adhere to that orange plastic, and it still looks goofy.
