1980s Rokon motorcycle. (I've been told that's where my source found his!!!!).....try looking for hen's teeth, easier to find. I did find one that is not exactly the correct face (close) 2 3/8 The 0-80 part is harder to find, 2 3/8" is easier to find but most for sale are electronic rather than mechanical speedos.

How many hoods are needed? I have two originals...but they go on vehicles.....could possibly make a mould and a run of them......Not me but someone that knows how to do fiberglas moulding and part making.....couple a hundred bucks might do it but shipping would be a Hillary

I measured and photoed the flat metal bracing they used to install the fenders - the fender material is double thickness rubber conveyer belting....Mining supply places have that stuff (not cheap)..... Give me a few weeks and I can flatten out mine and do tracings on butcher paper and send for a few bucks postage....I'm using the tracings to repro mine....
I will try and get some dimensional drawings of the hoods too....I'm taking mine to a boat place to have the little cracks coated with GelCoat and sanded to refinish....lots of spiderwebs!!!!

Thanks Ron the fender tracings would be great along with the info on the flat metal bracing!
The hood was an older post and I went ahead and had one fabricated already...and got lucky and found a dash also....

good - The dash is a tough one - I got the last repro that Walsh did.
Do you have a "readable" circuit wiring diagram????? Mine is so fuzzy I cannot make out the numbers of the M-Series connectors I need to plug here and there.....about 1/2 on the circuit diagram are unreadable.
Dan

will trace the fender outlines tomorrow on auto masking paper and after I cut mine from the traces I will send it to you. Will photo metal bars with ruler in photos and send photos of the bars actually mounted on the rubber.
