The item is a vintage-style mechanical speedometer manufactured by Custom Chrome, Inc. (CCI) under their "Premium Speedometer" product line.

The speedometer was an estate sale find and the previous owner passed away. I believe the speedometer is not new because of the loop wire being cut. Please view pictures closely for specific detail details of the speedometer for the pictures are an integral part of the description.

• The Front: It features a classic 1941–1945 style black face with contrasting silver graphics, a white airplane-style needle, an odometer, and a rolling trip meter.

• The Back: The chrome-plated housing features a central 5/8-18 threaded mechanical drive post, two integrated side mounting brackets, an external trip-meter reset cable, and a bottom-mounted rubber light socket grommet.

Model 25-962

The speedometer part number 25-962. This specific model number defines a precise set of technical configurations:

• 2:1 Drive Ratio: The "962" designation explicitly denotes a 2:1 gear ratio. This means the internal mechanical drive is calibrated so that 2,000 RPMs of the speedometer cable equals a reading of 60 MPH on the face.

• Target Fitment: A 2:1 ratio is mechanically built to synchronize perfectly with classic Harley-Davidson 11-tooth transmission drive units. It is the correct replacement part for vintage FL Big Twin models (1941–1961), EL Knuckleheads (1936–1940), and WL/UL Flatheads (1936–1952).

• The Era-Specific Face: While other Custom Chrome model numbers (like 25-961) share an identical chrome housing, they feature a 1:1 ratio for newer wheel-driven speedometers. Model 25-962 uniquely combines the early 1940s silver-and-black styling with the early transmission-driven internal gearing.

Condition

• Mechanical & Cosmetic: The unit is a well-preserve lightly handled piece, complete with its original vintage "Custom Chrome Premium Speedometer" box

• Wiring Status: The bottom light socket features a red wiring lead. While the main positive wire remains intact with its terminal ring, the factory-molded continuous wiring loop has been cut short near the rubber boot. This modification requires either insulating the cut stub (if grounding through a metal dash) or splicing it to a frame ground (if mounting to an isolated dashboard panel).
