Does it need a temperature gauge, ammeter, oil pressure gauge and warning light?

Probably not


Oh well

It's no good teasing us with just gauges, we need to see the whole thing now...

I fitted a mach meter bought from a military autojumble to one of my old 650 Katanas.

It didn't do anything, but I like to think it impressed the gurlies.

It was a very attractive bike...

You can just make out the mach meter to the left of the instrument cluster.

I picked this up this morning and drove straight to skeg. It's currently averaging only 75.6 mpg sadly.
