I've decided that as soon as I get the cash together I'm going to buy a new tank. That way, the resale value of the fuel injected one will be higher if the fuel pump is intact and working. I'll brush paint it with matte black paint and then maybe next winter I can save up for a full professional paint job.
Then, I'll look at buying a Dakota Instruments speedo from the States. I could get one, which would fit, from the zodiac catalogue through Hog Parts. I've ordered most of my bits and pieces from Zodiac through them but even the latest catalogue doesn't stock the black one I want. I'll be liable for import duty but it should be worth it. If I fit a chrome one, I'll only end up wishing it was matching the blacked-out look of the rest of the bike.
Something else I've just thought of. If I get rid of the dash I'll need to fit a different ignition. I've got a black three pole switch in the garage so that would do the business if I get a bracket made up to fit it beneath the tank and just behind the headstock.
One idea just leads on to more work. Looks like the re-wiring is going to be job and a half!
