Atc Speedo Delivered todaY!

[1DEADPRESIDENT]

Finally :w00t: The ATC speedo I won off of e-bay arrived today. The seller had listed the item and I found it with in the first hour. His auction was for the speedo only, but had a pic of the BR he was parting out. He had his opening bid at $15.00. So I contacted him and asked him about the rest of the components and he said he had everything that went with it. With in a few e-mails I had him talked into a buy it now, which he did. So here is what I got, the speedo, 85 BR Bracket, speedo drive, cable which is missing the drive end for the speedo, 2 Clamps, and a rubber insulator, which I guess is for the clamp. Here are some pics

YEAH. I have read a few posts in regards to the speedos and the installation. Once I get the correct bracket and a new cable I will be right there with you. Nice looking BR's ... I am looking to pick up one of those for my other half...notice I didn't say better half :lol: She is anti kick start...

[Maine_Triker]

Nice man!!! Can't wait to see the pics of it on your X! You should have that 200e gearbox soon too! So what did you give for all that?

Look on eBay for a Honda cable... email the seller to get the lenth and buy one that is 32-34". You can use that second clamp to hold the cable close to the lower triple clamp... I will get a pic of my setup tomorrow so you can see what I'm talking about.

And John... nice work on your Big Reds!!!! :beer

I tried to buy it for $160.00 which I thought was fair, especially with no pics of the speedo. I actually ended up spending a little more because at the time I was Freakin nervous that others had seen it and were homing in on it at the same time. I was surprised to see the clamps and bracket because I never mentioned those...knowing the bracket wouldn't fit either or mine.

Hmmmm..... I'm picking up a 85 Big Red this weekend and have 3 - 350X speedo drives..... makes me thinking...... You aren't putting a Big Red gearbox on a 350X are you? That'd be SSSOoooooooo..... faux pas!

[1DEADPRESIDENT]

Those of us that don't have a plethora at our disposal, make do with what we have... So yeah its semi-ghetto.. but functional. Are you willing to part with one?

Hey good score on getting that speedo setup. I actually cleaned up my speedo head and mounting bracket, then painted them both and it looks like brand new now. Just tape off the face of the speedo. I'd recommend doing that before you get it all mounted...put some clear coat(spray) over it too...

Hmmmmm.... nah... I guess not. I'll set it over with my 4 Black Number plates for my 3 Hondaline fairings.... Those 350X gearboxes are easy to find... I guess I'll hang on to them. :twisted:

[1DEADPRESIDENT]

Thanks I will certainly keep my eyes on them. :naughty:

[RichinMO]

1DP, what are you putting the speedo on? the 200x in your avatar or a 350x?

He's putting it on a 350x. He's also getting a 200e gearbox from me to use on his 200x... actually it should be there today!

Phil

[1DEADPRESIDENT]

No problem. I have seen the instuctions scanned on here somewhere in another post. :beer

[350x'inNY]

I thought I had paper work on a speedo install but don't. I have other hondaline install paperworks but not on the speedo - sorry.

john

Yeah... I gave you the paper work for the Tachometer, not the Speedometer. Yeah.... Dead, that scan is probably from one of my posts. Oh... I also have a 83-84R or a 83-85 200X speedo gearbox and mounting bracket here too, but guess they are easy to find too. I'm not sure if the 200ES one will work on the cast hubs... I know it looks different, let us know if it works.

[1DEADPRESIDENT]

I think its here. Haven't checked yet. I will post the outcome of the gearbox once I have time. I will putting the 70 Atc back together tomorrow and will post pics of the its final transformation.

[Maine_Triker]

Here's what I was talking about to do with the second clamp. Just put it on the fork boot so it don't damage the forks.... looks cool IMO.

[1DEADPRESIDENT]

Gotcha!! I am cleaning up the speedo and the Br mount it camewith. I also received the speedo gearbox. VERY NICE!!! Do you remember where you got your speedo cable???? I need to get two of them.

I got my cable NOS from a local dealer... but like I siad you can go to your dealer and just ask them if they have any HONDA cable that is the right lenth. The one on my 350x is 34". Just make sure that the bottom of the cable you buy is "correct", some of them screw in just like on top by the speedo.

Here are some 250es install instructions I just scanned. The 350x is different but it gives you a basic idea.

[Maine_Triker]

While I'm at it I'll post the 200x install instructions too. As you can see the 200x kit has a "Fender Holder"... it's not really nessesary but you should probably use a zip tie to tie the cable to the fork in the place of the fender holder. ;)

Lenths of my stock 200x cables are about 29" if my memory serves me right...

Phil

[350x'inNY]

DEAD.... let me know if you need me to repost the 350X instructions.... I also have the 81-82R instructions and the 85-86R instructions scanned.

Mods, Billy, Howdy, etc..... Do you think we could have an area on the homepage for Hondaline/ Yamaha Assessory mounting instructions???? I could send one of you my Hondaline folder or scan them in myself and send a CD yourway..... I have about every Hondaline instructions for each Hondaline thing I got.....

Bruce

[1DEADPRESIDENT]

Thanks professor. I probably will need those scans. I am trying to get the other bits and pieces together first. I will let you know. I agree that the scans would be helpful to all. I have Hondaline instructions for the overfender stabilizers, but they are easier than the speedos.

That is a great idea! Lets see... I got instuctions for the 200es, 250es, and 200x speedos; HL lense grille instructions for 83-84 R and 250es; 350x rear over fenders and HL guard; and rubber footpeg covers for the 200e/200es.

Would we also need the french instuctions? :lol:
