Bonniksen speedometer gears for veteran & vintage motorcycle front wheel & fork.

I normally only offer original spare parts for vintage and veteran motorcycles. However, when certain parts are rarely available, and are clearly needed, I get some made.

These parts are brand new and have been laser cut, using original parts for pattern.

IMPORTANT: You will need to finish these parts in order to fit / use them.

You will receive:

8 x eliptical nuts that go on the back of the two semi-circular plates / washers.
2 x semi circular plates / washers, used as backing plates when you attach the main 52T gear to the front wheel spokes.
1 x 52T main drive gear
1 x 26T drive gear that is fitted to the gearbox.

I have about 20 sets available at the moment.
£48 per set.
International tracked shipping available

SCAM ALERT. Crown Classic motorcycles is a new scam Facebook profile.
I just scrolled through their offerings and found a Triumph model P tank that was mine. I know who bought it and they aren't from Crown Classics in Lithuania!

Please do the usual checks before you part with your money.
- Ask to see more pictures. Also ask for a picture with a piece of paper with a specific word on it.
- Ask if you can pick it up. ( say you have a friend close by who can do it for you).
- If they immediately suggest that you privately message them, be cautious.
- If they ask for a deposit, be even more cautious.
- Don't pay with PayPal Friends & Family (unless you know the person), as you won't get your money back from PayPal.
- If you know how, do a Google image search (Google lens). It should show the source of the images where the scammer stole them from.

There are more tips. However, if you just do these suggestions, you should avoid being scammed.
