Hey, I usually don't like to bash things, but the, almost stock, tach and speedo from Mikesxs', suck. The needle fell off the tach in 13 months, they replaced it, then about 8 months later the speedo needle fell off. They wouldn't replace it, and would not give me the name of the manufacturer either. There's gotta be an alternative. If you find one, let me know, please.The Ol’ XS got a new agm battery and new set of brushes today! Next will be a new tach and cable ,and a center stand! Really like those blinkers Marlin!
Yea I got a nice used one off of eBay for thirty, Hope it’s as nice as it was in the pics! Will be here next week!Housing is black but I’ll use my original chrome, no fade,rubber is good,and needle in tacked!Hey, I usually don't like to bash things, but the, almost stock, tach and speedo from Mikesxs', suck.

Yes it was,about 1mm shorter! They were put on in May of last year,had over 1000 miles on them! Outer was 13mm and inner was 14mm,which are still good, I just wanted to put new ones in with the new battery! The brushes before them the outer was about 2mm shorter!Thank you, Wulfbyte! I hope they can be seen in the Sun. Hey, was the outer brush worn a lot more than the inner brush?
Reliefs with some black would certainly make it stand out, like your piece Superjet has on his bike. As long as it doesn't hide too much of your killer work.[/Q
I want to right? But then I know the cover will get hot and the paint will get baked. Will this cause the paint to chip off easier? or more along harden it?, maybe make it stick to the metal better?
Hey Pete! How are you feeling? Will you be able to drink beer with me in September?nothing....absolutely nothing....

I would think that the lines would tarnish and naturally darken and contrast the polished areas. I'm guessing!Do I fill in with black?
