Speedo She Gooooone (Maybe)

    Hi All,

    Just wanting some help if possible.
    I was out on the Dyna last week and looked down and noticed I was doing 160+ in a 60 zone.
    Now I am no expert but when I stopped I dont think the needle should still show I was doing 110.

    I shut her down then restarted and the needle had dropped down to about 80.
    When I started her again and rode off the speedo was showing 80+ and as I accellerated the speedo seemed to be working just out by about 80 K's.

    Anyway I was on way to work so decided to kick on, well about 20 K's later the needle just nosedived and now hangs like a limp dick at the bottom of the dial. No matter what I try I canna get any movement.

    The Tacho works and the odometer works but no speedo, I had a look at the electrical diagnostics book and each path I followed ended the same "Install new Speedo"

    I just wondered if anyone else has had this issue and has a fix that doesn't include a trip to a dealer and a wad of cash.

    BTW Its a 2006 Lowrider but has a 2013 donk installed, still running all 2006 electricals, original gearbox etc. Was working fine for about 2500 Klm's after motor replaced so I am thinking that should not be the issue.

    Ride Safe
