When replacing the trip meter be sure to line up the stoppers.

In one thread it recommended spraying the bell with silicone jet oil but none of Finleys jet builders had any so I used silicone spray on the bell and shaft.

When bolting the pieces back together ensure that the cover above the bell goes back in the right way as it stops the needle from dropping below 0.The needle pushes back on so line it up first.To check your work cut up an old cable to a manageable length,hook it into your electric drill and watch it go.Igot 125ks from the speedo and 8500revs.Make sure you run your drill in reverse.

After bolting the speedo back into the holder refit the seal and then using the manufacturing marks line up the 2 pieces.Then use some tape to hold the pieces together.

To hold the pieces together I use a soldering iron.If you touch on and off quickly you won't have any trouble.

As I have little faith in my soldering skills I follow up with a bead of 5 minute araldite.If you hold the join vertically and keep turning it while it dries you should end up with a neat join.

To finish up wrap a GT stripe around it to make it neater.

That took me back to when I spent time inside a speedo.
My only question was "Why?" If I had a bike that looked that good after 270000Km, I would brag!

I had to pull my gauges apart to fix them and this was the last job needed for me to be able to say it was finished and like new.The Pig was reliable but rough when I got and it has taken all these years to get it finished,thanks in no small part to what I've learned on this site and as I will never buy a new bike I settled for winding back the speedo.I'm going on a 400km ride tomorrow so the numbers will build up quick enough.
