    Need Speedometer drive in Bay Area quickly for DMV inspection!

    I just brought my bike down from Oregon and on the ride the speedometer drive gear failed. I have ordered a new one off Ebay that will arrive between the 4th and the 7th, but I have to pass a DMV inspection by the 7th to register the vehicle and avoid late fees. I don't want a blemish on my title for the odometer not functioning. Does anyone have one in the area I can buy, or even just borrow for a day while I wait for my new one to arrive?

    just to clarify, this is the speedometer drive attached to the wheel end. the speedometer assembly on the other end works fine.

      Not in your area, but you might want to be more specific as to what part you're looking for. The drive assembly at the front wheel that the axle goes through? Are you sure it's not the cable? Seems like a very short time in order to get the bike inspected. Couldn't you sit on the title a week or two in order to get the part you need?

      Edit: I see you've now verified that it's the wheel end that you need. I'm sure there's someone in the area that could lend a hand. If not, I may have one but it's on the east coast and would not arrive on time unless it's shipped 2nd day. Expensive.

      Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

        I purchase the bike in Portland last month on the 7th. Snow and freezing rain kept me from riding down to the bay until a few days ago which is how I ate up the month grace period for title changes.

          Too bad. I personally wouldn't have had the title dated until I had the bike in hand.
