I just bought an Rupp RMT-80 and it's missing the speedometer. The bracket is there, but the speedo is missing. it's 3 1/8" diameter. There's a lot of Rupp speedos on ebay, but i'm unsure which would be the correct one. Does anyone have a picture of an RMT80 speedometer that they could post please? Probably need a side pic too so can see the depth of the speedo. not sure how these mount? obviously they fit in the bracket, but what keeps them in place? Thanks!

How many sizes of 80mph speedos with Rupp on the dial did they make?

Cool bike. I know by the time Rupp started making them the competition was intense with the Japanese bikes and it was after Micky Rupp was already forced out of the company. Plus the early 70's had several bad snow years which put the company in financial peril with it's snowmobile division. Plus the economy was bad too with inflation.

I guess the correct speedo is 80mph with a white/black face, and no "vdo" lettering but says 'rupp'. if anyone has one please message me. thanks.

i don't think that ebay link is the right version speedo. but if it works, i would be fine with it. i need a cable though too... that may be trickier!
