nicely done, indeed!
do you, by any chance, have a spare one of the trip meter reset knob on the back? it's been missing on mine for ages and i've had a hard time finding a replacement.

Very nice!

Did you drill the little dampening fluid reservoir and fill it with the silicone shock oil.  It help smooth the motion and can help eliminate the jitter in the tach or speedo.

Nope.  Just black paint, a new red zone  and some cleaning.  Haven't had a chance to ride it, so we'll see how well they work next weekend.  Both worked with a drill attached before I took them apart, so let's hope I'm good to go.

Totally sorry to have missed your need.  I might have one.  I think I wrecked a perfectly good speedo trying to remove the needle, but I'm planning to move in a couple of months and lots of stuff is packed up.  I'll try to take a look this weekend -  I haven't thrown much of anything away. 

Actually, I was able to look and found one that I don't think I'll need.  Looks like you're pretty far off so you'll need to figure out how to get it to you.

Feel free to PM me.
