RE: Speedo

Most likely a broken cable. Easy check remove the cable from both ends, hold both ends, turn one end, if broken you will know. You could slide the drive cable out as well, just a little messy that way.

RE: Speedo

I thought this was going to be a thread about Speedos. Like our thong and cleavage thread. Thank God it isn't!!!!

John hit it on the head, they usually break on one end or the other, rarely in the casing itself.

RE: Speedo

Thanks Guys absolutely right about the cable broke at the bottom end. You know I have been riding these things for a long time and always thought you had to change the whole thing including the speedo drive. Well this is why we all use forums and never go to Harley shops.
thanks again Popeye
