Erle: I did think of something like that but I wanted to keep the original speedo (with original klms) would be better for resale... thoughts?

With a Thruxton tank, I don't believe the resale value would be further affected by any other minor mods.
But for what it worth, I NEVER part with, or modify, ANY of the original parts/pieces.

They are usually wrapped and hermetically sealed, and stored in the attic. JUST IN CASE I ever decide to sell. By the time I do, mine will be vintage, worth more in unmolested condition, with no (or minor) wear, and I'll separately sell all the other items latter. I've done this with my '72 H2, cause I don't want damage OR wear on the original parts, AND I want it modified like the ones I had in the '70's.

Contact that vendor, he will tell you if the original speedo will work, or if he has a bracket that it will work with.

I, like you, do want to keep the original speedo, and keep the mileage correct.
