I have a 750 tiger that was registered in 1978, my frame and engine number tell me that the bike was actually built in Nov 1977.
I have Veglia clocks on the bike which have the blue MERIDEN writing on the faces. The tacho works ok but the speedo is next to useless it is inaccurate but as the speed builds gyrates around so much it actually a distraction. I also have a SMITHS speedo gearbox on the back wheel.
My research seems to suggest the MERIDEN badged clocks should be on very late bikes? Which seems to point that my bike may have the wrong clocks on?
I have spotted a pair of good condition smiths speedo and tacho not far from me, I prefer the look of the smiths clocks, does anyone out there have any idea which clocks I should have on the bike?
