Speedometer for 1971 F50 Cutlass scooter?

[tbrock]

After years of neglecting my decades long list of Suzuki projects I had a 1971 Suzuki F50 scooter fall into my lap. While there are some parts available from Thailand for this (and also my A100) I have come up short on finding a replacement speedometer.

Would anyone be sitting on any 6V 60MPH speedometers in salvageable condition?

if it's the trapeze shaped speedo i think you'll find the k10/k11 hillbilly speedo will fit nicely. there seem to be plenty of those about. i've got a couple, but unfortunately i'm over the other side of the pond
cheers, dd.

Fortunately it isn't the trapeze share, it is the standard 3 1/2 inch round (or at least it was).

Excuse me, but I've just got to ask-

Any idea how that damage occurred? It looks like perhaps someone's ex took revenge on the scooter with a baseball bat, cricket wicket, karate chop, etc.

Or perhaps the ubiquitous "friend" took it for a spin?

Noticed that the housing is available on eBay for reasonable $$$. Good idea to get the parts you find ASAP because they might be gone if you wait too long. (I learned this lesson the hard way.)

There’s a good chance some other Suzuki speedo might work. Someone might have a good suggestion if you post some pics of the speedo + measurements.

Any chance the housing you saw was black and being sold in Thailand? My new upper and lower housings should be somewhere in the ocean on the way to me.

Yes.
