I offered to buy one of these tanks from a guy on here when he finished installing a Sportster tank on his bobber. I am looking forward to a bigger tank. You are doing all the thinking to make this work so I thank you. Kenny G

Kenny

I got a Speedometer off Ebay . I would have just used the GPS for my speed but :
The neutral light
The bright indicator
The turn indicator

so I got one of the after market ones with a neat little column of three lights , green , blue , orange . The speedometer is in metric but a quick multiply by (.6) is so easy ....
25 k = 15
50 k = 30
100 k = 60
will be second nature in a week !

Versey put me on to a cable ... that was the hard part !

I hope to be sanding and putting bondo in the imperfections tomorrow evening ? The biggest ding is about like a BB but not as deep. Cool

I want to arrange to get a cam chain adjuster modified so I need to contact him any way. Kenny G

It's a little long but I just snaked it around a bit and it works fine. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1408385970/1#1 I picked up a speedo from Dime City: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/2-5-inch-chrome-mini-speedometer-with-black-fac...

Posts: 5728 LYNCHBURG TN Gender:	Re: Over size Tank Reply #53 - 01/24/17 at 16:01:14 I put the speedometer on and hooked up the cable ... it could be 4" shorter , but it will work just fine. I mounted the speedometer on the bottom side of the handlebar riser by drilling and tapping under the handlebars all the way through. Then putting a bolt from the bottom.

Here is the coil mounted on the new metal piece . Its in the frame hole.

There is the old tank nub and the new tank rubber .

I took a bike ride to Lowes today and found some 18/7-conductor wire to extend the dash wires with . Seven conductors in a neat casing , looks like factory equipment Wink

, $0.60 a foot . I wore chaps and took the long way home (60 mile joy ride).

There is the old tank nub and the new tank mount w/rubbers you'll notice there is no room for the compression release ...

The Savage cap is too small dia. , but a new lock set for the GZ250 are only $40.oo on ebay .
