speedo needle needed ???
Hi Guys,
I broke the needle on my speedo while replacing the odometer gear. Anyone have a speedo or a tach that I can buy just for the needle ? For a 85 1/2 and newer. Does anyone know if an early model needle will work and match up ? Thanks

Just to let you know, You are not the only one to do this;
The first time I replaced a speedo gear I bent the needle pretty bad (sorry McFly) I wish I had one to send to you, But at least you know you are not the first to do this. OTR

heh,heh
Thanks guys. I had a feeling it was gonna break. The needle was OK, I just broke the black plastic shroud piese, I epoxied it back and it doesnt look too bad but bad enough that it will drive me nuts.
