Dawson Harmsworth Ltd. was established in March 1978 to manufacture high performance motorcycle components mainly for the road race market. The first major product was ‘ASTRALITE’ wheels. These became the most popular wheel in racing during the seventies and eighties. Shortly after the start of wheel production a joint venture between Tony Dawson and Rod Kitchen of SRA was formed to manufacture the ‘SCITSU’ Tachometer. Over the years six world championships have been won by teams/riders using Scitsu instruments. The company was founded on the principle of giving ‘value for money’ and a service to customers based on the experience of having been racers themselves and thus, understanding the needs of its customers.
