    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I just aquired this OEM rusty gauge cluster that was said to be off a 1978 gs1000e.

This is the first time I have seen factory gauges go to 170 mph. My 78 has 140 mph gauges.

Anybody know anything about what bike it may have really come off of?

Some one opened it up pulled the pin and painted extra #'s on them for sure
 
WOW. You know you guys are right.

I guess I need to start wearing my cheater glasses all the time. I just went out to the shop and loooked closely and it does look like they added the extra numbers. It doesnt look like paint though, stickers of some sort.
 
Now the obvious question...do you think someone had one of these old bikes that could go that fast?

there used to be a guy on here who made gauge faces. they were perfect and you could have almost anything you wanted on them. here is the set he made for me, lots of others had them made to with varying designs and "extras".

Still all in all I think it would be pretty cool to have a speedo that read 170.

What was it in the movie "Spinal Tap" about the amp that goes to 11 on the volume scale?
