While I have been away for the past week on holidays, a nice little parcel has arrived in the mail. While searching for some good quality indicators I came across POSH, a company from Tokyo Japan established in 1990. These guys make the parts from start to finish. The end result is solid, quality and beautiful looking parts.
I couldn't resist getting these black anodized aluminium valve caps. While most won't notice them, I think it will set off the back rims and contrast well against the alloy shock caps.
I also picked up this speedometer which included all the necessary light indicators necessary for registration here in QLD. Still deciding whether to keep it as the polished finish or paint it black. Will make a call once the bike is all together.

For such a small unit, this thing is heavy; very solid build quality.
And now for potentially the most sexy part I have purchased to date... Billet aluminium indicators with mirror lenses. Words nor pictures can justify how good these look and how solid they are built. Unbelievably impressed.
If you are after quality indicators that really stand out and are prepared to spend a little extra, you cannot go past POSH.
I spoke to Mostyn today and provided the fork braces arrive tomorrow, the bike will be ready for pick-up on Saturday. A recap on the work: front fender, rear fender, exhaust mount, headlight and weld plate over old petcock holes. Can't wait to see how it looks.
Jason have you worked out if this speedo will read accurately using the standard XR600 cable drive and the 19" wheel you are using? I am have an XR600 project myself, and am digging around for info on aftermarket parts.
ReplyDeleteHi Jonathan,
DeleteHaven't tried it out yet. I want to shorten the speedo cable first as the stock cable is far too long. Once I have it all connected I will certainly test it against GPS readings to determine the discrepancy.
Your other option is to go digital. I do believe there are some similar style speedometers that are digital. I wanted to keep things a little more classic.
Best of luck with your build. Do you have a blog?
Thanks for the response, No blog as yet. I have been considering starting one, but haven't had time to sit down and detail my progress, decisions made, photos etc for the work done so far.
DeleteI just checked the date for your original reply, sorry I hadn't responded sooner. I only happened to be scratching around on your blog and noticed that you had responded
