    Or you could just ride it and enjoy how smooth and powerful the old pig is with only 7,200 miles on it.

      If my math was right, your at approximately 394 hrs if set at 60 MPH with a drill..

      1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

      NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        I changed my odometer really easy. Just gotta take care in doing it. The number barrels you can rotate individually by carefully moving the desired barrel to the side some and turning it slowly. they have a spring load on them. You can feel it click a little. Don't force it, just even pressure and slow. When I changed out speedos there was a difference of about 10,000 miles from my original mileage to the one I was installing. I got the newer one set exactly to the miles on my old one.

        You can also swap out the odometers as well, couple of screws and they come off the speedo unit.

          ...or perhaps a couple of drills. Some brushes and/or bearings at the least.
