Thanks both - i'll give it a go. A few emails should sort things out. Or not, we'll see. Never had a speedo head go belly up before even on some of the crappier old British 1960s dogs I had to ride. cheers

Just so happens mine is off at present but where is the SN? On the speedo itself you say? Can't see anything...

Hi, the serial No. is on the lower part on the face, and there are two initials on the left of the number. Neither can be seen when the speedo's in it's housing.
thanks

Hi Buggsubique- did you get anywhere with finding the serial No. on the sppedo, there's an RD04 speedo for sale on ebay Germany and Id like to make sure it will run properly. If you didnt, no problem I have a German mate who will ask questions for me.cheers

Check out the 'Mounting Cnut Hill - Sat 9/5' thread for some photo's of Twisty, a recent conscript into the Wellington crew using his RD07 in proper style.

Riding an Africa off road always feels to me like taking a rhino into a china shop, and yet it's always lots of fun :-)

Very low km and tidy (relatively speaking).

..A Stallion and a Perm!!!!....

**Underground** · 12th September 2009, 09:48

I may not have a perm , but I've just done the next worst thing .
I put the OE can on the @

Yes Underground has gone into stealth mode .
The cheap aftermarket one shit its guts out somewhere near Rai the other day so I thought I'd put the KTM one on seeing thats off the road, but there was too much faffing round to fit it , sounded real good though.
Now it just sounds like someone farting at the bottom of a diving pool.
Be interesting to see how it performs , it was down on power with the straight pipe and running on instead of dropping back to idle .
