Motorcycle Mechanical Speedometer 61.5mm Dual Scale Black Electroplated Iron for 12V Dashboards

This mechanical speedometer provides a straightforward solution for motorcyclists who need clear speed information in both kilometres per hour and miles per hour on the same gauge face. The dual scale eliminates the need for mental conversion when travelling across borders or following mixed-unit route instructions. Built with an electroplated iron casing in a classic round black finish, it offers a robust appearance that integrates well with many motorcycle styles. The 61.5mm diameter body fits standard dashboard openings with a 52mm mounting hole and 12mm thread diameter, making it a practical replacement or upgrade for existing gauges. Operating on a 12V electrical system with simple red and black wiring, this speedometer is designed for mechanical cable drive from the front wheel (not supplied) to ensure accurate speed and odometer readings.

Features and Construction

Every aspect of this speedometer is engineered for simple mechanical operation and reliable fitment within common motorcycle gauge housings. The materials and dimensions match typical aftermarket and stock requirements.

Material and Build

The main casing is made from electroplated iron, which provides a solid, corrosion-resistant finish suited for outdoor motorcycle use. The black colouring is uniform across the round body, giving a consistent appearance on the handlebar or dashboard. The mechanical movement uses a physical cable drive from the front wheel to operate, ensuring accurate speed indication without dependence on electronic sensors.

Size and Practical Fit

The speedometer measures 62mm in height, width, and depth, with a face diameter of 61.5mm. The mounting hole diameter is 52mm, and the installation thread diameter is 12mm, so it fits many aftermarket gauge pods and stock housings designed for these dimensions. The compact round shape keeps the dashboard tidy and easy to read at a glance.

Uses and Placement

This gauge is suitable for various motorcycles that use a mechanical speedometer drive, offering flexibility in placement and reading units for different riding situations.

Event or Professional Use

For riders who participate in motocross events, track days, or endurance rallies, having both km/h and MPH scales can be helpful when crossing between countries or following international route instructions. The mechanical design is simple to maintain and repair, reducing downtime during events.

Everyday Home Use

For daily commuting or weekend touring, this speedometer replaces old or broken gauges with a dependable dual-scale unit. The black electroplated finish matches most stock handlebar setups, and the round shape fits standard brackets. The odometer records distance in kilometres, which is useful for tracking fuel consumption and service intervals.

Benefits and Buying Value

This speedometer delivers core functionality without unnecessary electronic complexity, making it a straightforward replacement or upgrade choice for a wide range of motorcycles.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Mechanical speedometers are known for their simplicity and long service life when properly lubricated. There are no batteries or sensors to replace; the main moving parts are the internal gears and the cable drive. Basic cleaning of the casing and periodic lubrication of the cable (as per motorcycle manual) keeps it functioning well.

Why Choose This Product

The dual-scale feature is a standout advantage, allowing riders to switch between metric and imperial readings without mental conversion. Combined with the electroplated iron casing and standard mounting dimensions, this speedometer offers a cost-effective, functional upgrade for a wide range of motorcycles.
