Well, after hundreds of hours searching, I've acquired allot of STUFF for speedos, but I want to offer a 100% kit.

1 for me, 1 for sale on EBAY; In time that is.....

I saw a cable solution for a 200X or 350X somewhere on 3WW and I'll search for it.

Brackets or "STAYS" will be made by me and powder coated. Probably a custom bracket that looks and functions as well as Hondaline but is not a 100% copy.

What I have not found is a solution for the trip meter knobs on the 100% original Black faced ATC MPH speedometer, that's what I need help with.

Probably the same as an old CB, but those are all discontinued as well.

You can share things here or message me and thank you for any help!!

I found a very good replacement for the 350x cable which I am running on my 350x at the moment. I can't remember for the life of me what it came off but I want to say it's a CT110x. It may be 25 - 30mm long but it functions perfectly. I used an OEM cable but have an aftermarket one on my 250es and it also seems of decent quality.

Also forgot to ad I have one of Swineharts reproduction stainless 350x speedo head mounts and it is a great fit and looks exactly like the original hondaline one. Also, the knobs of the recently still available chrome ring red faced speedos fit on the original hondaline ones. These are far easier to find than the ATC ones. The KmPH are easier to find too which is good for me!!

Those stainless mounts was actually made by Hagen. He got sick of them or something and handed me a bunch of them to do with as I please. So as I sold off the formed ones I would purchase C.o.a.'S in his name.
Mrs. was already making the rubber grommets for hondaline mounts so it all worked out well.
The mounts I had made was out of steel. I beleive I still have my pattern paper for them,,, somewhere.

We forget too,,, between the Mrs. and myself we have molds + parts we have not even marketed.
In that picture is 1 R or X headlight strap pin (did not realize till pic was snapped). The little steel pin is the end of a speedo reset shaft she uses to drill the knobs to correct depth.
Notice the 2 little holes in the shaft ? That is what makes the knobs (or left overs of a broken knob) so hard to get off. Honda put glue on these knobs and the glue gets inside the holes on shaft for a really good bond.
Are these what you was talking about DC or did I misinterpret what you needed ?

^ Yes, you are right on the button.

I had a very busy machine shop week, I haven't sent you that package yet.

Those pieces look fantastic; Unbelievable what you can do John!!

I am working on an atc speedo too. I need a trip knob too as mine is broken off. It looks like it broke off flush with the grommet. After looking at your knobs it looks like I have some plastic to dig out on the shaft, is this correct? Do you have some knobs for sale? If so, how much? I have the a complete speedo assembly gear box to head The glass was broke and i got the trim ring off which is bent. I need to either find a new trim ring or fix the one I have. Mine is for a Big Red 200. My mounting bracket to the fork is quite rusty but I am going to laser cut and form a bracket from .125 stainless steel.
