R60/6 final drive to speedo combination?

[Mad Hatter]

Having just imported my 3 x airheads to France I’m now in a bit of a rush to get them re-registered and legal over here.

My first task is to get my as yet unrestored R60/6 ready for its initial MoT* in France (* control technique). This is needed in order to get a French V5C (carte Gris). I’ve got a couple of things that need sorting on it, firstly I need to get a LHD headlight and secondly I need to get a KMH speedo. I’ve got three weeks to get it through an MoT and registered

Everything above is context. My question to my helpful airhead brethren is this…… what KMH speedo do I need to match the 37/11 final drive that is fitted to my bike?

The MPH speedo that’s on there are the moment is a W1244 but I’ve no idea whether this is original and correct for the bike or not. Even if it is correct, I also don’t know if it’s the same number that I’m looking for on a KMH speedo?

Can anyone tell me what number KMH speedo I should be looking for?

If anyone has one they can part with even better! (or a LHD headlight)

This is my existing speedo

From a cosmetic view, it needs to have the white lettering,(expensive)
Is it vital to be the correct ratio?
Meyer bikes are a good source for rare parts

As a by the by,
I’d have a buyer for your old speedo.

Just been doing some part number trawling and found that the 37/11 (3.36) final drive is correct for the bike and the matching speedo’s for that ratio are

MPH W1244 BMW No 62 11 1 356 751 Mfr No 1 356 751

KMH W773 BMW No 62 12 1 356 717 Mfr No 1 356 717

The bad new is that they are NLA from BMW…..

The good news is that BMW2V have a refurbished KMH one. Slam dunk!
