Suzuki T200 Invader gauge refurb

Post by KETTLE BOY »

I've been playing around with other clocks, ( not just Gt750's ) and a mate is restoring a t200 invader ( 1970 it'S is a 2stroke ) and asked me to refurbish his gauges.. These are as you can see, 2 in one case combo.. I was itching to see how it's all put together inside.. :o it has currant m.o.t so wanted the mileage left the same, to match mot..
He is very happy with the result.. Just need to pick up the crank next week.. :D

That's a lovely job, I always thought the combined rev counter and speedo looked classy (had one on my CB77) the invader was a lovely little bike and was hardly any slower than the super six. I've not seen one for a long time so I would think they are very rare.
They're rubbish them Jap bikes lad they won't last five minutes! you want to get yourself a nice Royal Enfield!
