So Like everyone says, yes the fat cat isn't the three wheeler but I hoping someone can point me in the right direction. =)
I bought a 87 fat cat, totally stripped, and I have been slowly rebuilding it to a hunting machine! I actually got it street legal here in California, and I wanted to add a factory look with a speedometer...did some research (not enough) and saw that the ATC200 offered a hondaline speedo and that it would work on my fat cat. So I watched ebay for about a month or two and found a 1984 Honda ATC 200es Big Red Original Speedometer with Accessories, basically the complete unit, drive in all, AND impulsively bought it ........got it in the mail, really excited to install it, than realized that the drive unit spins the unit backwards....so the 1/8" drive cable if your looking at the cable end where it attaches to the speedometer head unit, spins counter clockwise.....
so my question is: is there a Head unit that requires a counter clockwise 1/8" cable ? or is it better to find a new drive unit that turns the correct Clockwise, so my head unit will work?
Any help would be a huge help, spent about 300 bucks on this unit, and dont want to relist it on ebay!!
Is there any Speedometer Guru out there that I should direct this question too?
Thanks
