    Speedo help just picked up one

    I bought a speedo off eBay for my 250sx. Looks like it's missing some wires and a broken nob. Anyone know what parts or who might be able to help? Came with a bracket and not sure for what machine. Any info would be greatClick image for larger version.

    Troy, the Mrs. makes those knobs. I will post up some pictures in a bit, on wrong computer now (no pictures of them on here).
    I think she likes to get about 12 dollars shipped stateside.
    Your missing wire is the lighting wire. Darn near any Honda motorcycle speedo/tach lighting works. Just a simple push in piece of rubber with bulb in it. I should have picture of that too.
    Now for the bad news, not a stinking clue what that bracket fits. Not sure if the ones we have available will work on SX or not ???
    Yep, I will post pics of those too

    Sweetness thanks John. Put me down for that nob. I will pay extra to have it shipped to me. Lighting good to know it's only a push pin style and I don't have to tear that bad boy apart. And for the bracket I have one on order from a kit off eBay with drive gear.

    The head I bought on eBay was listed as a trx speedo but clearly it's a ATC model.

    Thanks for all the info John

    Back light picture

    Here you go,,, http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...59#post1324959

    In this Hondaline tach picture is the same push in rubber bulb holder you will need.
    Well I thought I had a better shot of the light bulb holder,,, it is the green + brown wire.

    Excellent thanks for the quick pic.

    I will search eBay for one. When you say most Hondas will fit. What should be a easy fit the cb nighthawk models? Or just any two wire green and brown?

    Ok I'm lost know. The pic I opened up on eBay showed a three wire with two bulbs. The speedo I have only takes one bulb from what I see. Just need to find the correct size that you insert into the speedo.

    Is the bulb a two pin twist style?

    I believe you will just use the larger angled one Troy. You will need to separate the 2 bulb/wires is all.

    PitBilly, you wire in sequence with the lighting wires. Either via a factory jumper harness or simply make your own.
