I think it's an age related thing in the same way as indicators. I didn't have one on my 1927 AJS but I think your trike is a year or two newer? :D

Probably the same top speed as a 1927 AJS though. ;D

Yes you would need a speedo.

Andrew. Thank you for the text messages. The last one was very good.

Cheers Kev

I think mine must be broken as it appears blurred between 0 and 70mph. ;D

Andrew these are the speedo's you need on your trike

(Probably the greatest motorcycling picture of all time. Land speed record and he is wearing protection. Shoes!)
