Might be helpful - bob@eyezongauges.com or 323-864-1109. He performed a miracle on a 1993 speedo for me and was a nice guy.

Yeah, I guess so. A buddy of mine had one and had nothing but problems with it. Had to send it back about four different times. This was a few years back though, and maybe he got a lemon.

I like mine from HD. Haven't had any problems with it, but haven't had it too awful long. What about picking up another stock unit? Probably quite a few of them running around with all the aftermarket ones people install. Just don't know about the odometer on them. Will it display their reading or yours?
Just say the part about taking them apart question. I do not know how but somebody does take them apart to change the colors on them.

I've been looking for one on EBAY, but haven't found the correct one yet.
Your right, I know joe the powder pro does the color change service on them.

Does anybody know if the odometer will be the old mileage from the original bike? That's the only thing I can think of that would prevent it from being used on your bike. I don't know if it is married to the original bike is what I'm trying to say.

When I bought my new speedo/tach and plugged it in, the OD set itself to the correct mileage. I'm pretty sure that data is stored in the ECU, not the speedo. Otherwise people would buy new speedos 10k miles before putting their bike up for sale.

Yes that was the same for my HD aftermarket unit. And now it is married to my bike. Is yours a HD aftermarket unit? They may only do that with the aftermarket units so people will have to buy them new, sell more units that way.
