Clusters sold out again......

[Sochin]

As always it is definitely one of the most rewarding upgrades you can do to a Hawk.

Ughh felt like a kid on Christmas , waiting for mailman to bring my cluster only to have them say not today maybe tomorrow. Damn second time in the same week to have to wait another day for my scheduled package. Oh well hopefully tomorrow

Does the stock speedometer cable work with the Digital Cluster? My cable got chewed up by my front tire...it was sticking out a little which was enough for the knobbies to chew into the wire and throw the speed readings out of whack.

Well 50 blew out the door in a little over 3 weeks. Have more on order but no tracking yet. Will keep everyone updated......

[ChrisWNY]

Just dropped you an email Matt...if you have the speedometer cable/part let me know, wasn't sure if you had spare parts laying around that you could sell. Thanks.

Thanks for clarifying - I'm better off cutting the cable and re-soldering the wires inside the sheathing (and I ordered the part from Matt so that I have a backup in case things don't pan out with that).

[ChrisWNY]

For those who might encounter issues with their speedometer cable getting chewed up by the front tire...there are 3 wires inside the sheathing, and it was easy enough to cut the cable, remove the chewed-up portion, and solder the wires back together. Used heat shrink over the soldered wires and electrical taped around the exposed portion of the cable. Speedometer working flawlessly.

Being shipping is so darn slow i have placed another order before i even get my next order to try to speed things up. It stinks having a tom of money lying out but no other way to expedite things right now.......

The speedometer comes with its own cable and sending unit. ChirsWNY just got his chewed up by the wheel. I placed 3 tie wraps to secure my cable in place, 1 by the sending unit, 1 on the fork just below the boot. I about mid way up the boot. When you compress the forks the wire pushes away from the tire. You can see how I done it at the beginning of the video.



When I changed my fork oil the other day I used two on the boot. 1 about 2" from the bottom of the boot and another a couple of inches above the mid point. I did that after I read Chris's post.
