New speedos coming out soon

[Chopper Dave]

I wonder if the change the colors dependant on the year of your bike?

Thats what I was wondering You would think they would replace it with like the one that came out of the bike...

 

[Gas Man]

Yeah I have and always did... a black face with blue lights... it goes with my black bike too. I don't want a white face...

 

[Raywood]

I saw where FC posted on the other side that they would remain a black face but my dealer said they will be going back to the white face. I will find out on ! june as that's when I have to go back and have it installed.
I do like the black face better after having both.

Later,

Ray

 

[Gas Man]

Yeah I saw that as well.

My speedo is delayed again. Huge demand I guess. I'm now scheduled to get it on Friday. No problems here though cause it's raining and it's supposed to be clear on Friday.
Will post some pics as soon as it's home.

New speedo on and seems to be working great. They did change the little black button. It seems to be made of a stiffer rubber and does'nt feel like it's going to come off when you push it.

You can also tell that there is a stiffer / thicker fluid inside them as well. They needle is alot smoother and does not jump around at high speeds either.

So far so good.

Does the bracket look different? Is it higher giving you more clearance on the tank?
Mine is chromed so guess I will have to have this one done cause it's a bitch getting in there to polish it!

The new bracket is suppose to cut down vibes to the gauge too!

I found someone that is going to let me just bring him the speedo so I don't have to let my bike sit at some dealership. He said bring the speedo in with the project number and he'll take care of it. We'll see

 

[Gas Man]

Don't they also replace the pick up sensor?

If they do Al, let me know off "open forum" where and maybe I'll throw him the biz as well!

Hey Ray,

I was told the speedo brackets are back ordered. I wasn't going to wait and the dealer thought, what the hell try a new speedo with the old mounting bracket and see what happens. istead of waiting who knows how long. So I have the new speedo with the original bracket. They said if I have any problems what so ever and they'll take care it and get another new speedo and bracket later.

So far, all is good.

I've never had the sensor replaced with the seven speedo's I've gone through. Never had any problems with my 05. I did have it replaced on my 03 Mastiff once.
I haven't even checked mine since I got it. Might be a good idea to clean it before I get my new speedo just to be on the safe side.

I had the speedo replaced once... but of coarse the dealer never checked and it was just the pick up sensor and not the speedo...

 

[KnotSo]

where is this sensor located and what is the best way to clean it?

Perhaps this belongs in the "How To" section.

 

[Raywood]

It's the little oblong piece you see on the right side of the tranny. It's just a motion sensor and you are supposed to pull it and clean the surface every now and then. One small bolt holds it on. Gas Man posted it somewhere.

Yeah I think I have posted these pics more than anything...

Here's a few of the sensor and what it will look like when you pull it out. Just clean off the end that was in the tranny.
