I guess we are lucky to have a Radio-Shack in the next town over .

If the next speedometer has the same problem I'm going for the resistor !  

when I had to dim the blue light on my Cafe' bike.

must be a bunch of those Bright Blue's out there !    

I wouldn't miss the bright indicator or the neutral indicator either but the turn signal indicators I miss.  

Don't get rid of the extra resistors yet ... the next speedometer should be here in a week or so !

With LEDs, sometimes it's not how bright they are but how the "lens" is focused. They can vary from pinpoint beam to a very wide beam. The same intensity spread out over a larger area is not so bright. You have to study the specs on the LED to figure out how it's going to perform.

Dave , I'll mount the Honda Rebel Speedometer and if its having a similar problem :
Then I'd like to help ya with that "to many resistors problem "  

It might be fun to ride up to your place to get it , enjoy some of that Best BBQ , then camp over and ride back the next day  ?  

Guess what I finished up?   I gave my sleeping bag a wash, wrapped it up with the air bed and a pillow all inside the blue ground cover tarp and propped it up with my "get up off the ground" half axe crutch ---- after putting a fresh new fighting edge on the half axe (a fighting edge, sharp enough to shave hair off your arm or cut you a bit in casual handling).

Speaking of blue LED lights, here is a $11 handlebar volt meter and USB port (bought mine off of Amazon, once you pick a $30 one and then go look at the Other Items at the bottom of the next page to go find the one that doesn't cost $30).

Or just go to Ebay directly -- same difference.    But you gotta go direct all the way to China to get the $11 one.    3-4 weeks delivery time, but it saves you $20.

Me, I like knowing my charging system is really working correctly as the opposite condition can flat ruin your day when you are far far far from home .....

On the Savage the 1 gallon adder tank worked out so well I ordered a 2.6 gallon adder tank to replace it, bringing my Savage up to a 5.2 gallon total capacity.   The new rectangular Barritainer Jerry Can (natural semi-clear 2.6 gallon gas tank) is 10 days out from delivery and the start of modifications for fitting to the luggage rack of my Savage.   Cost is the same as the old 1 gallon tankage and the same sorts of hold downs and locator features will be used as was developed for the one gallon tank.

Something new to this newest installation is a petcock on the plastic tank itself which means both the inline and the tank petcock can be turned off so a loaded gas tank may be easily removed from the bike with no leakage.  

Plus I like having the tank filter there to keep the misc. trash out of the main fuel lines and main fuel filter.

Wife says I am just finding things to do -- when the grass starts growing I'll mess with it and paint the house some, etc.

Winter is for fixing bikes though ....
