[daveb]

Have a look at this bike http://blog.motorcycle.com/2014/08/18/motorcycle-category/standard/2016-midual-type-1-prototype-revealed/

The company I work for designed and built the gauges.

Very interesting. I thought they went t/u long ago.

The company I work for designed and built the gauges.

Very nice, not so much the price but it is unique.

I wonder if that means your mates are a bit closer to making the retro dual gauge I've been bending their ear about

correct ST, we can trace our Herritage back through the years to when SMITHS owned the company.

our biggest market is classic gauges off original tooling. we still make the original mini speedometer.

this is where I work as a design engineer www.caigauge.com
our bike site is www.smithsspeedos.co.uk

also we have a distribitor in the USA for motorcycle stuff  http://www.smithsgaugesusa.com/

  I get goose bumps seeing great styling line this with modern technology and done in the UK.

Well if you like British bike builders, have a look at the Gladsone #1, the speedometer is stunning

Nice instrument; pity about the rest. 

[Sin_Tiger]

Not a fan of the style either but you're right, it is stunning and very elegant. That's very much the style of instrument I'm hoping for but as a Tach with digi speedo / ancillary data.

Similar to the Vincent's one.  I play Bowls against 'Tick Tock' Their bowling green is behind where the old Smiths factory once stood.

[daveb]

Yep it's similar but in a billet cast, while the Vincent was in a cast cast

the old tick tock is now tescos,  the factory is about 2 miles further north.

I will have it keep my eyes open for another tiger near work. We are next to continental service station. Various name changes over the years
Smiths, Tudor, Lucas, vdo, then cai.

[daveb]

Well I am off next Wednesday to visit the company who build the midual,

Riding down and back on the tiger

Swansea to Plymouth 190 miles
Plymouth to Roscoff - few hours on a ferry
Roscoff to Angers 210 miles

then return journey home
