Have any of you had to replace the tripometer knob on your America?
I ordered the knob, and a screw that was to be used with it, from Bike Bandit.
I ordered straight off the schematic without looking at my speedometer. Why should I? I figured there's only one speedometer for the '01's through '??.
Well, when I went to install the new part, it doesn't fit. Doesn't even come close!
The "finger" part (end) looks correct, but would need the "shaft" end to be about an inch and a half longer to reach the metal shaft inside the speedometer, and the metal shaft inside the speedometer does NOT have a threaded hole (or ANY hole, for that matter) in it's end.
Today, I went to our local factory dealer, and their schematic shows the same picture as BB.
They are contacting Triumph for an answer, but I'm not knowing if I'll get a satisfactory response.
Yes, I can easily modify it, by epoxying a thin brass tube over the metal shaft inside the speedometer, and epoxying the plastic knob over the other end, but I'd rather not.
Anyone experience this???
