He said he was not going to ride it so just put the stand up

I suppose depending on the bike and inspector which way they test

Thanks everybody for your replies,the speedo reading on the original is 100mph.

The speedo is the only problem I have to get it licensed,the cops don't test ride the bike they just put the stand down and run it with the wheel of the ground to make sure it works.

If the speedo fits in the tank and cable fits it will do for now,or I mite be lucky and it is spot on.

Are those sizes rite for the tank sizes

Hello,
I am trying to find a speedo for the vintage bike I have seen these ones in the USA.Can anybody tell me if these will fit the Ariel,I am unable to measure mine as I will be away for some months and desperate to find one.

Smiths diameter across the bezel is 3 1/4" = 85.42mm, housing diameter = 3 1/8" = 80mm, with a depth of 3 1/2" = 90mm. Uses standard square inner cable, with the larger 9/16" = 17.82mm outer cable nut. Bracket to hold gauge inside is included, as is a pilot bulb and socket

Thanks 33d6

No you are not going blind as i snuck the numbers in after your first reply,you were right about the p as i misted it when i wrote the post,I am slowly but shorley working out how touchy this old bike is in repect to starting.It can be frustrating if you do not find the right spot for the kick lever and the decompretion lever,then the advance/retard lever position when running.

Is there anywhere you can find the history of this bike from leaving the factory.

Thanks for all your help

Thanks for the replys guys,My grandfather lived all his life in the uk  spending 50 years working for Napier & sons engine works.the bike is a lot earlyier than i thought.

 I also looked at the bike suggested and it is pretty close to same,my chances of finding another is pretty non existent if they are that rare.Have attached another pic with him sitting on it for you to look at,i will also put other bike in real soon to identify.

Thanks for everything
Mark
