speedometer cable bracket question
10/12/12 at 17:23:03
through absolutely no fault of my own
the little bracket under the speedo that cable threads into is broken. thusly:
does anyone know how i can get just that part? or do i have to buy a entire speedometer to be able to once again tell my approximate speed?
**edited to make the pic not so humongous.

Looking at the diagram it looks like that part, although bolting on separately, doesn't have it's own part number. Hopefully some of the old timers here can offer more advice, and maybe have one of 'those there things' off of an old bike.
Good luck!

thanks.....
ya know...i was all over that site and completely missed that assembly. my search skills kinda suck.
it appears it might be the 'gear box'. though mine bolts on in 2 places. $112.42 indeed.
if i can't buy one off someone here, i'll just snag an old speedo off ebay i guess.
feel stupid. not only did i break this here thing, i dented my tank. not a good day for dumb butt.

sorry to hear that. i am overly cautious about my bike (it's my first) and although I haven't had a big boo-boo, get mad when I do something I know I should have known better (e.g. scratch my windshield laying it on the concrete garage floor).
Maybe post a wanted on the marketplace with the link to the image and your pic and explain what you need...these folks are great and I am sure someone will come to your rescue.

Serowbot has the answer!
I have used jb weld for lots of stuff and it is great...just let it cure like the directions say and it's solid as a rock. I have used it on my bike on the rear light casing to rebuild the receiving end of a screw hole thingy...it is great on plastics as well as metals. Just clean off any slippery stuff with maybe some rubbing alcohol (to remove oils, etc.) and give it a shot...what do you have to lose since it is already broken?

hmmm. i have some jb weld (who doesn't)! i'll give it a shot. super glue didn't hold even though it's plastic. i have to remove the tank to put one of those rubber bumpers back on as the previous owner lost one.
well...it's worth a shot. let's hope i don't get a matching dent on the other side of my tank

well, the jbweld is setting. turns out that i also have a broken speedo cable. down near where it threads into the engine. i'm guessing i put it back in incorrectly.
ah well, at least my tank is nice and tight now.

Prep time is always part of the repair. Clean is the answer. MIte need a spray can of Berrymans B-12.
