Default Custom Speedo dials for the VN900

In case you weren't aware custombikerstuff is now in the progress of making custom speedo dials for our 900's. I sent him mine today to use as a template. Check em out if you're interested in things like that.

Hey folks. Yes pat was kind enough and gutsy enough to pull his speedo apart. He is sending us his speedo face so we can make a template and begine to make custom speedo faces just for the new 900 bike. Heck we dont even have them for the 1600 or 800 kawai bikes yet. So you 900 owners are getting the jump on them. We are glad to bring this new dial to you 900 owners. You have so little to choose from since the bike is so new. We should have the template done and ready to go in 3 to 4 weeks. This is good time since riding season is coming to close which means more time to install mods like our dials, and Hypercharger covers.

Thanks pat for stepping up buddy!

I didn't realize that it was you doing this. You need a 1500 face? I'm probably going to take the Nomad down for a month or so and it would be available.

A custom speedo dial could solve the problem of innaccurate speedometer reading. Can I get one made for my V2K?

Bigjohn,
Wow I just notice you are in my same town as I very cool!!!! We need to meet up at frontier village Starbucks for coffee soon brother. Well it depends on the year of the bike Bigjohn. Check our site and you will see a 1500 link of dials we cannot do. http://www.custombikerstuff.com/vul1500.htm if yours is one of them then sorry but if it's not then YES we could use it. Let me know. Maybe we can hook up and you can give it to me if it is one we need to add to our dials.

You got it. I plan on making those adjustment on the dial for my wifes 900. Unless someone says they want that done we will give them an exact match of what they have. I will adjust the ticks by about 3 to 4 MPH to be safe. Hey pat do you want us to make that adjustment for you???

Ok you got it pat. We will make that adjustment for you. I really think this will clear most if not all the issues with it reading high.
