    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

OEM Speedo / Tach recommendations?

After 37 years, the speedo on my 1982 GS650L started screaming. New cable, nope not it. Did all of the lubing, etc to the speedo, which would work for a little while, and then.... the needle itself just broke off about 1/3 of the way up the needle. I thought I saw a post a while back about someone who rebuilds them, but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?

Otherwise, has anyone else had good luck with OEM replacements? Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.
 
Thanks for the help, Tom203. I went ahead and did a buy it now, so hopefully it works out. I hope you have a great holiday!
 
Should be ok...my original is still ok @ 59k. Had broken cable, broken wheel drive to torture it. Check your new units light bulb before install
