    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?

    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

    Sorry to say dude for your age trike and the fact that it is not the original car anymore then yes you do (knowing this from the days of building Kit Cars).
