Since the original speedo thought Enf was capable of 80mph and wobbled wildly, I treated her to a new one. Can't quite stretch to a Smiths digital jobbie, so went cheap with a refaced Indian replacement. More readable, much cleaner with bigger numbers, and reports a speed vaguely in the same ballpark as what the bike is doing.
Only downside is that cheap comes at a price - the odometer is in Kilometres, rather than miles. Not a huge problem, just adds another step to my MPG calculation at the pump.
Speaking of which, today's fillup comes out at 47.5 MPG. This would be horrendous, if I didn't take into consideration that I'd left the fuel tap on one night and came back to a petrol pond in a fume filled garage. God knows how much I'd lost.
Also added a small clock to the handlebar, so I know exactly how late I am for work. This may be relocated to where the light switch is on the instrument cluster, and have a simpler switch in the front of the left toolbox.
