speedo cable gone

Hi,

Just binned my speedo cable as no longer needed / used, only probem is am left with the two holes on the fork legs that serve no purpose, and a speedo drive on the front axle, that serves no purpose either.

Does anyone know if there is a commercially available spacer i can use on the front wheel. Instead of the speedo drive ?

Also ideas on what to do with the holes on the fork leg. ?

Was thinking of making a bracket to span the both forks to attach my lower mudguard,

or Completely file off the bracket and smooth, and repaint / Polish the both fork legs.

I did notice that another baghira had their forks polished, and it did look nice...

Any ideas ?

May just go for a repaint this year, and look into getting the forks polished in the winter.

Would i have to strip the forks cmpletely down, to get them polished ??

do not file off someone after you may want to make it like new again
and you just screwed up the fork
i just love bmw /2 frames with the sidecar brackets missing

grinding them off bent up frames to weld back on good frames has become one of my arts
