does any one know of any speedo drives that will fit on a 750 sport with 16 inch rims, the inside of mine fell out on a stretch of dual carriageway so there is no chance of finding it, just wondering if anyone knows of anything that will do the job.
Pete.

Did you just break the tab washer, or did more of the assembly fall out? I'm not sure how it "fell out" since it should be kept in place by the axle.
At any rate, there must be someone here who converted to 17" rims who has one for you.

Pete - check out http://search.ebay.com/310150465753It's a Veglia, and looks quite like the one from the Sport. No guarantees that the ratio is correct, but if no one else bids, it's only a $10 bet. Ben

I've never seen that happen before. On my GT, the unit stopped spinning freely and mashed up the tab washer. And I snapped the speedo cable on my Monster. But I've never pulled the threaded end off of any of my bikes.
At any rate, if it's something you want to bid on, I'm sure any number of us can help ship it to you.

I have taken a couple of pics of what has fallen apart but can;t seem to post them, the brass part where the cable screws onto has pulled out of the main body (looks like the splines are worn) and the worm drive has fallen out through the hole. I have a drive box from an aprillia 125 as suggested else where on a page of alternative parts, but externally it is different, I might be able to use some of the internals though. Pete.
