Speedometer for Jackpiner needed

[Jeff Reid]

I need a good speedometer for my '72 Jackpiner. While I'm searching the vendors at Mid-Ohio what ratio VDO should I look for? I've got most everything needed to make this bke enduro ready- the original rubber taillight/license plate holder unit, the tool bag and rack, a speedo bracket and a nice P Petty headlight. All I need is a speedo and speedo drive unit/cable. Any tips would be appreciated.

I believe I have a speedo drive and speedo for you.  I don't know if I have a good cable.  I will bring it to Mid-Ohio if that is soon enough for you.  Ratio should be 1.42:1 I believe.  Is this bike a rider or restoration?

The 1:42 ratio is correct for the front wheel drive speedos with 21" front tire of course.

Rocket- Mid-Ohio would be great! It's a nice rider, not a museum piece but a pretty nice bike. See you there!

Jeff,
  You may check with Al on the cable.

I do have a cable to go along with the speedo and drive.
