You cannot buy that part, it was never available. I've made them for the 250, 380, 500 and 550 white bodied speedos as well as the later metal ones like yours, all built from scratch. However I need to have the speedo in hand to build the boot onto it. The angulation of the gauge body to the reset shaft plus creating a perfect seal is critical.
Two strokes, its just that simple.

And the GT750 clocks that Allan did for my GT550 look superb now they are out of the bubble wrap.
Thanks again Allan, I'll get warm in a day or three!

Big pleasure to be there in 30 odd degrees too mate, so the feeling is mutual.
Hope to take you up on the Miami invite one day too, but we'll not mention that to anyone in case they get jealous. :lol:
