Default Speedo help please

Hi All
i recently purchased a 1200n, 2008 model. The problem is when i purchased the bike the speedo had a broken face and the needle damaged due to an item falling from the last owners garage rood onto the bike, also damaged the fuel tank but thats sorted now. I have purchased a brand new speedo off e bay showing zero miles, is there anyway i can set the miles on the new speedo to match my original speedo so all my paperwork still matches up e.t.c

Jez

Jeez Jez, I don't know. But I'll bet someone on the site does, or ask a dealer.

I recently replaced my speedo with a digital model. It came with a cable that you plug into your bike under the battery cover. It goes through a sequence and marries the speedo to the bike. im not sure how yours will come but thats how the new ones from hd come. goodluck hope this helped.

+1 on this. I would think the new speedo comes w/ that cable. If not. I think I may still have mine from my HD digital speedo laying around but I'm not sure. I'd have to dig.
