  • Round Speedo?

    Yeah, the whining was definitely my speedometer cluster. Finally got the bike running great, went out yesterday and the needle was acting funny and jerking around a lot after a bit. When I stopped at an intersection it didn't return to zero, and when I took off again it shot up super-fast and snapped off. Oddly enough the whining noise stopped after that. Given the amount of miles that were registered on that speedo unit, it doesn't surprise me.

    It was one of the 160 mph speedo units, but I'm really not picky if I don't have a replacement one that goes up that high. I do need a round one though. Anyone know where I can locate one?

    160 speedo...

    I bought one a couple of weeks ago on ebay motors for $60... Wildkat found it and sent me the link... ya need an ebay acct. and a paypal acct. - then search, bid, and wait. They come up ever so often. Got my 85 c/o yesterday... works and looks great. Good luck.

      Hi, i just bought a 140mph unit off ebay that i dont really want. I need, and found a Km/h one, and i've also just bought that.

      The mph one hasnt been paid for or shipped yet so if you like I can PM you the price and details of the seller so you can deal directly, and complete the ebay transaction.

        Thanks - I actually found someone local that has one - and I think that might work better for me, since I won't have to deal with shipping or anything.
