250r speedo (pics)

[petesatc]

hi this is my atc250r speedo set up....it's taken along time to get the parts together for this one...but worth it i must thank Bruce 'hondaline' Hartman for the sub-harness and speedo bracket...although did'nt use the bracket (going on the 350x) the sub harness is mega rare
for all you who want to know the top speed....the can get it to about 70mph but running out of track before i max out.....i'm going to run it down the highway(one of my other wheelers is street legal,just swop the plates) when i make a bracket to mount the camera to get some max speed shots

I also got my trike (350x) up near the 70mph range when i test run it on the road. At 55-60 i can feel the tires "grow" somewhat. And that is when i started wondering what speeds my tired are rate for.


Looking good Pete !

hey John
i know what you mean at 60 it gets a bit hairy......i thought the highway would easier to keep it i a striaght line......
have you put the tacho on yet?? if so does the 350x red line?
i'm working on a tacho setup for the 350.....it is a honda tacho but only goes to 7000rpm do you hit 7000rpm in gear??

NICE.... awesome work. I am very close to putting a speedo on my X, I have now got all the parts (although the gearbox is a 250es one), just waiting to see if I can trade with Bruce for a 350x gearbox.

So you're putting a non-origional tach on your 350X? If so let me know how that works, and what you had to do to make it work. I could use that as a temporary tach until I find a real Hondaline one.

Thanks!
Phil

Looks great... glad I could be of help! Gotta have some nice trikes in the UK... it is 3wheelerworld after all... Let me know when the packages arrive! I might have a couple other things you might be interested in in my Hondaline Archives.

To each thier own but....a speedometer has no place on a race trike.....

Yes i have my tach in place but haven't rode it hard to see what speed/rpm is (yet).
Anything past 60mph i won't be paying much attention to the gauges
