    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...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

Matching odometer on newly acquired gauge

Is it possible to change the odometer on these bikes without breaking anything? I found out my instrument cluster is totally smashed. If I get a new gauge with a lot more miles, I am wondering if I could change it.

Thanks,

The plastic housing was broken on my speedo from the wreck three years ago.

I got a replacement that had more miles on it, but was able to open the housing on both units and swap the guts.

Now, I have the proper mileage showing from within a good housing. :encouragement:

Yeah that is basically what I'd like to do. I don't actually need to change a dial, just swap the guts. It doesn't seem easy as I can't get the gauge I have to fit back inside the diameter of the plastic.

One thing though is that my trip odometer handle is gone.

I found on my replacement odometer if you are really careful you can rotate the numbers to where you want them. My replacement had less mileage on it then the stock and I wanted it to have the same numbers.
