My speedo collection

[dizasterzrfun69]

i hope this is in the right section, after all they are trike parts. Well i was bored and so i took a pic of my slowly building collection. Can anyone spot the fake :eek: atc speedo? their is one dead giveaway but if its not next to others i dont think anyone would ever notice.

The only difference I can see is with the first black faced "atc" speedo is that the knob is different! I don't have any of the black faced "atc" speedos myself, only 4 of the red faced units and one of those in km\h like the one you have a picture of.

[dizasterzrfun69]

yea the nob is different but thats not the only difference. I cant tell the difference though ;) its a secret. I was told thaqt those nobs just "Pull off" well i found that they actually turn to the right and unscrew. I found out the hard way but oh well. I'll remember for next time :rolleyes:

[saturnshadow]

umm, all but the left say ATC on them.

The Orange on the first one?

[dizasterzrfun69]

hahah nope one of the atc speedos used to be an orange faced speedo :D Dont worry im not going to try and sell it as an atc speedo. I'll probablly use it on my 85 R or my sx

the middle ATC one?

Is that first one from somewhere other than the US? I noticed that it said 'km/h' on the bottom.

Heh when I read the title the first thing I thought was why would he show us a pic of this thongs? Then for some reason I clicked it was like ohhhh.

And for my guess, the one on the left says km/h all the others say mph.

The first black faced "atc" speedo looks slightly different, maybe a little larger. Was it a km\h speedo late model as well? If it is, maybe I could convert my km\h speedo over. Did you use a decal to change the face? Does it still register the distance in km or were you able to change over the odometers to miles? I had wondered about doing this before but there is very little information? Maybe used the guts or geardrives from another amreican speedo? Fess up!

yea its canadian for a trx400 $25 i won the WHOLE kit :D

[dizasterzrfun69]

the one with the different knob is the old orange faced speedo. Its my secret that i wont tell :D I just wanted to see if it could pass as an atc speedo if i put it on my R :w00t:

[honda_atc200es]

oh, do you plan on selling any of those, i have a yamaha spedometer, but i do not have the part that hooks up to the wheel

[dizasterzrfun69]

nah i dont plan on selling any. I just wanted to post up my collection and see if anyone could point out the fake :D

[honda_atc200es]

oh, ahh well, nice collection u got there. it be a good idea to hang onto them, worth big bucks already :)

How did you change the face? Decal or did you use an old face from another speedo. How do you get the bezel off? Do you think you can switch the guts of the speedo itself out?

I had to make a couple things. I'm not sure about switching the guts. I thought the guts were the same when i bought the kph speedo. Now i look at it and see that the needles are at different angles so the guts must be different.
