Can anyone tell me what the black bottom on the side of my 1999 h-d wide glide speedometer is? It's got a black rubber cover over in and u can push it in? Looked in my owners manual and couldn't find it.

Does it have a digital odometer? I'm pretty sure that cycles your trip and odometer info.

Passenger ejector seat. Use wisely, they're expensive to repack.

You know, there were times when I really could have used one of those.

With key on, push quick and it will switch the odometer to trip meter. While in trip meter push and hold to reset trip to zero

Hard to believe it's not covered in the owners manual.
