Just got a e-mail from Z1parts. They said if I had a tracking # they would send a new one today. I was typing it as I got their e-mail. Just got another one now. They're sending it out now. Now that's service. Puts the others to shame. :whistle:

I got my speedo. It was in the dirt at my neighbor's driveway where it could be run over.
Must be that substitute again. He's done it before. It says delivered at or on the door/porch. Going to the post office tomorrow and file a complaint. WTF is wrong with people? Can't get a sprocket, buy another one and now this? :blink:
BTW eBay says they will not tolerate the sellers stating shipping from one carrier and using another. I'm going to look and see if z1partsinc has one. I will have to pay tax but at least I know I'll get it, MAYBE. :whistle:

112 miles on the speedo and no problems. Got some pics and clips. A little windy and chilly up there but it warmed up while I was there. Nice ride. :woohoo:

Yup. I'm good to go. I'll be sending back the Tach soon. They're fine with that.

The new gauges have different bulbs. I painted the tips blue for the small gauges. Now they're light blue LED's. I think I used too much. I painted four new bulbs with just a touch on the tips to add color to the Tach and Speedo. I'll get a shot of the little gauges when it gets dark.

Got my Led's put in. I guess I ordered blue ones. THAT'S WHY THEY WERE SO BLUE. :blush: What a drag it is getting old. :dry: I can put the brake indicator bulb and socket in instead from the old gauges. I didn't think of it at the time. :blush: Glad I didn't order red. :lol: When it gets dark I'll see how I like em. :whistle:
