smiths chronometric tachometers
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2021 7:11 pm
Well to see if this can bring up an interesting conversation I know nothing about, and due to Dave's recent post in the craigslist finds let's see what we get.
I know for a fact that my restored 1962 xlch with late vin has an original chronometric nos tach from harley davidson on it because I bought it on ebay in its original box with all the mounting hardware. The RC# on the dial reads 1302/00.
I also had an original paint 1962 xlch which was in my possession some time ago which also had the factory chronometric tach and interestingly enough the vin # was only off 6 digits from my restored 62. This also had an RC 1302/00
Now with all that said here is my original paint 1959 xlch that has the chronometric tach on it as well, yes I KNOW they never left the factory with the tach in 59 but the original owner did this prior to Harley Davidson and that's how the bike is staying. It's tach has an RC 83 on the dial. My question is What are the differences in the tachometers? My guess is ratio?
