    I need speedometer help.

    The original speedo has had the glass changed or something.The ring holding the glass in is all bent up.I bought another speedo and would like to change that bent ring out.Is there some magic thing you can do to get the ring off or is this why the original was bent up?
    I guess I could just swap the whole thing but I would like to keep the miles right.This new one has about 14000 fewer miles on it.Call me crazy but I would rather brag about how many miles on the clock then how few

    No chance.

    That how the old one got bent. I don't know if any shops can do it. That would be your best bet. Probably not cheap, but they could lube the thing or service it.

      sometime it is better to leave things alone. and this is probably one of them. It's very hard to find any one to work on Jap gauges. The ring will be distroyed if you try and remove it.

              It looks like some great riding. Thunder Road country.
