Hi Saber it isn’t the previous owner had rebuilt the speedometer,
I did find a reference to the bikes frame number on another forum asking questions n when she came into the uk needing resto, that the previous owner said she had 15k or so on her on a forum which added up in my mind to the overall condition on some original bits.
Then he took her apart did the resto which he unfortunately made a few mistakes on the engine side and I then had to redo the full restoration that previous owner did completely within 200 miles shown on the clock lol
The only few things she needs to get her concours are the Matt chrome footrests and kickstart, was gonna be my next purchase, n the pipes are original chrome so the silencers are blistered slightly, luckily a/n do all the year correct stuff for the 68’ that’s me nitpicking at it though oh an a green button for the tricon handlebar switch.
Hopefully whoever has her when I advertise her next week ends up riding it a lot as that was my intention hence the riding mods I’ve done
