I once saw a step-by-step guide with pictures of how to do it but I can't seem to find it now. Anyone remember that or know where I can check it out again?
Thanks

Other than inlet hole size and count, what's the difference? Can I run the 204 on my '01? ]]> Twins Technical Talk jdefiore http://www.triumphrat.net/twins-technical-talk/125901-question-from-new-member.html http://www.triumphrat.net/twins-technical-talk/125868-speedometer-worn-out-options.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:43:12 GMT So last night while out riding my speedometer started making a whining noise and the needle was shaking back and forth - I found when I got home that the cable was possibly a little loose where it connects at the back of the gauge. I re-lubricated the cable in case that was part of the problem and securely re-attached it.

Today, same deal. So I pulled the cable and the gauge to take a look, and saw that the area where cable fits into the gauge was worn - instead of looking square and ready to mate with the square end of the cable, it was all rounded off inside on the gauge end. And sure enough, despite getting it very securely tightened, I'm seeing slippage that causes the needle to bounce and a noise to come out of the gauge.

So, I think I need a new speedometer. I've seen numerous threads here about people planning speedo replacements, and I see options on the aftermarket (including the mini speedo/tach combo on New Bonneville's site which looks nice to me, being as I don't have a tach right now). My primary question is - can I just replace it? I'm unsure of the legal ramifications of replacing the official record of mileage accumulated on the bike. Can anyone comment on how this works? I live in Arizona if it makes a difference. Are all of you who've replaced speedos just planning on keeping your bikes forever or what?

Thanks in advance for replies,
