Vdo Drehzahlmesser

Just a few things right quick. I got to use Naz's welder and removed the restrictor plate from my Estoril, and welded a new rear hanger bracket, since the last one broke, thanks to light gauge steel and rough Seattle streets. No pictures, however, of that. The restrictor came out with a medium amount of effort, some cutting disks and chisling. I need to repack the baffle, all my stuffing was destroyed and rotten. Anyway, I finally after 2 months of waiting received my Monza Cockpit from Germany, complete with 80kph speedo and tachometer. Not to be confusing, "Tacho" is the german word for Speedometer, and "Drehzhlmesser" means Tachometer. So I've got the tach hooked up and it works pretty well, although I'm not convinced it reads to the top of my RPM's, it seems to hit about 7k rpm and never climb any higher, although that could be about the stock limit for the ZA50, so who knows. I like the KPH, I feel very fast when I look down and see I'm going 58 KPH. So now all I need to do is re-paint the cockpit and my fairing, and once I get those on, I will declare this Magnum the first Brown Limited in existance.
