Just got back from a 5-day, 1800 mile trip to PA, MD, VA, WV, NC, and TN. I started the trip at 98,296 and was going to finally see the bike top 100k. Wouldn't you know it that the speedo cable broke on the first day! NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! :cry: I've only been waiting for this moment since....let's see....ALMOST THE WHOLE TIME I'VE HAD THE BIKE!!! We stopped at a couple dealers along the way but they only confirmed what I expected, they didn't have a cable in stock.
Luckily I kept a close watch on my partner's bike mileage and know for a fact (within reason) I'm currently at 100,076 miles, but it reads 98,552. The new cable is on order. The OCD in me is in crisis. How do I fix the mileage listed on the odo? Being on the interstates for many miles, I was picturing hooking up my dremel to the end of the new cable where it attaches to the front hub and letting it run at 155mph for approximately 9.8 hours! LOL! (And then by a new dremel) The other solution is to see a psychiatrist to cure me of my OCD. Lol...
Any ideas?
BTW- I bought the bike almost 6 years ago with 30k miles, so I am NOT requesting a 100k mile award. That'll happen once the bike reaches 130k.
