Speedo rebuild?

[MatBirch]

Hey gang, it?s been awhile, but I?m still around and keeping my wife's ?80 550L going strong.
The speedometer cable that came with the bike failed, so I replaced it with a genuine Suzuki part. It lasted about 30 miles. I have narrowed it down to the speedo itself no turning fast enough.
Is there an option to rebuild? Or should I just pick up a replacement?

Allan Tucker does a fabulous job on restoring speedos and what not. Here is his face book page Vintage Suzuki gauge restoration

I'm interested in this too. Was there supposed to be a link in there?

Might be interested in getting mine worked on, does he have a link outside of Faecesbook?

Not that I know of, his facebook page is the only one that I know of. By the way he is expanding out in restoring some other things on these older GSs.

Great to know. Thanks!

I know a good seamstress that does a great job on mine. Although she says that the leopard print ones can be difficult, the tiger strip ones are apparently easier.


Oh...wait....wrong kind of speedos. Sorry...

Hey Rich, you want to model what she did for you, you got pictures? Please say no.

I tried, but for some reason the camera lens shattered. Weird...
