    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.

Speedometer Calibration?

Hey guys! I removed the instrument cluster on my '82 1100E to install what I thought was a burned-out bulb behind the speedometer face. Turns out, after I got to looking at it, it had a 140-mph face glued over a factory 85-mph face, so the light wasn't illuminating through. It was kind of blistering, so I carefully removed the overlaid 140 piece and now have an almost pristine 85 face.
The needle, however, was at about the 20-mph mark fully down. So, I readjusted it to zero. Now, it reads way slow. It only shows like 25 when I'm doing around 50, 35 at 70 etc.
Is there a way to calibrate this?
I'm sure it must have read correct at one point on the 85-mph face since that is the factory face.
Any help or information would be great!

Thanks guys.
