Starfighter Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 It was jumping all around and I figured it was the cable binding up. Put a new cable on. No joy. Found the only new authorities speedo in the U.S.A. or Germany. I installed it and borrowed the GPS off my LT to check accuracy. Spot On !!! No noise, no jumping, and this is the first BMW I've owned w/an accurate speedo !!! happy Christmas to me !! Link to comment

Mark K Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 So where and how did you find that new speedo? Are you willing to share that info? Link to comment
Starfighter Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 well, my dealer didn't have one. They looked and said that there were none in the U.S. Then they tried Germany...Nope....two back ordered. They called Germany who said "due around the end on January." I sent email to all the dealers parts depts asking them to check stock.......nope.... Finally A&S in Roseville, CA responded with one....... Authorities speedo, 120 mph , BMW part # 62122317738 Accurate to +/- 1 mph I also bought a regular speedo before I found this one so if anyone wants a new 150 mph speedo BMW part # 62122306505..............

Huzband Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 ... if anyone wants a new 150 mph speedo BMW part # 62122306505.............. Micheal Phelps would probably be interested in such a Speedo. Link to comment
Starfighter Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 What's Michael Phelps user name ? Link to comment
outpost22 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 What's Michael Phelps user name ? Probably "GOLDylocks" Link to comment
The Beav Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 What's Michael Phelps user name ? Allen, Michael Phelps is an Olympic gold swimming champion, so the comment about him being interested in the "speedo" was a light-hearted joke. Glad you were able to locate an accurate speedo for your ride. John B Yuba City, CA '99 1100RT Link to comment
Starfighter Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Thanx John I had no idea who John Phelps was, but figured it was some sort of joke...now "speedo" make sense. Link to comment
Slainte Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thanx John I had no idea who John Phelps was, but figured it was some sort of joke...now "speedo" make sense. Allen, Do not feel bad. I just caught on myself...it must be an Oregonian thing to be a little slow to this type of humour. Link to comment
