Title: What are these gauges off?
Post by: Tony T on March 11, 2014, 07:07:14 pm: Another one for the brains trust...... sorry. :-[
Could someone suggest what these gauges might be off?

They're currently on a '72 TS125 but I wouldn't have thought that would have had plastic gauges?

Thanks again folks.

I have 1979 SP gauges that have a metal body so didn't think that a '72 model would have been plastic.
Maybe they deliberately tried to make the SP heavier. ;D
Thanks for that.

Post by: Tony T on March 11, 2014, 08:35:15 pm: There's a point. They are in miles per hour so maybe older than I was thinking. :-\

Post by: Tony T on March 12, 2014, 07:43:35 am: After doing some more research, I've come to the conclusion that the bike is a '74 model and the gauges are correct for that year. :D
And also correct for the '74 TS250...... :D

Post by: Doc on March 12, 2014, 08:18:01 am: Tony , speedo is correct but I think you'll find the tach on the TS250 redlines at 7000rpm ;)

Post by: Tony T on March 12, 2014, 08:46:51 am: Pedantic old bugger! :P
The bike is far from correct so I'm not worried it. They'll look part. :D

Does it count if it's in the back of a V8 ute? 8)
