    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.

my current spedo is an 85 on my 82 gs1100e

i was looking threw ebay and came across a spedo listed as "gs1100e spedo"

it was round so i knew it wasnt the old style

so i threw some money at it
on closer inspection the picture was not what the gs is
i figureed someone who outbid me and i only threw 5 bucks at it
so i figured no big deal

well i won it for 4.32
he sent me the one pictured which i informed him is not for a gs it says kat 650 on it and is date stamped 96

he said i was right and he would send me out another one

so i informed him some go to 85 some go more
he said back im not sure which one i sent you

got it the other day and its the 140 spedo so im happy about that

anyways under the glass and above the face plate there are dead misquitoes

how do i get them out?

how does the glass come off?
is it like my kaw where i had to pry off the metal ring?
 
Put the gauge face down on your workbench (protect with clean rag) and carefully pry the lip of the bezel up. Pry a little at a time and work slowly, around and around until the lip is bent up enough to get the bezel off.

To bend the bezel back down, take a small hammer and slowly work the lip down, going around and around like before. Last step is to take a round drift punch and hammer, tap the lip down the rest of the way.

I've done this on several gauges and when you are done, you can't see that anything was done after the gauge is installed on the bike.
