Can some one please tell me what is the correct speedo drive for 1960 FL
I have been told it runs off transmission.
Thanks Bill

That's correct Bill, it runs off of the transmission and it will have 11 teeth. The speedo ratio changed in 62 and went to 13 teeth drive.

48-61 drive=7t, driven = 11t 2000 rev/mile
62-65 drive=4t, driven = 13t 1000 rev/mile
Another change in 68
