Hi

I am a newbie with an AJS model 18, that needs a little help. I am trying to put a speedo on it. Where should I begin? Any ideas on what parts I need etc.

Thanks

Dan

and you have no speedo or no drive or no what?
It can only fit on a bracket on the top yoke or in a hole inthe headlamp

bolting it to the handlebars is a recipe for disaster,
it is driven from the rear wheel, is there one?
If you post a pic or elaborate on your problem it would be a great help

yes thats the one! I will take some pictures at the weekend, and post them later.. Currently I dont believe there is a drive on the rear wheel, and it would have to be fitted.
