On a recent trip to visit my wife's family side for a get together (I went up later...primarily giving me a reason to take it on it's first 100 mile one way trip), I started to hear a squealing noise half way up. As I'm riding, I was looking around it (tires, chain, engine, etc.) and saw no obvious "problem". I glanced down at my speedometer and realized this was where the noise was coming from (not to mention the needle bouncing around between 30 and 60, and the odometer and trip froze up for around 3 miles). Eventually, the noise stopped and the trip and odometer started working. The speedometer even worked...up until I hit over 47ish. The rest of the trip was great!
To my question, of which I have been pondering constantly since this happened on this past Saturday. Do I go after an original stock speedo and have this possibly happen again with the next one at 40 some thousand miles, get a brand new one to fit in the same space, or change up the dash/gauge area with different style (speedo/tach combo and build ignition box)? Better yet, what have some of you done? Have pictures? Hahaha By the way, I do have to get up a new photo. I installed my windshield before I left on that trip. Thanks!
