how do I rewind mileage?

Just go to one of your local used car dealers and ask them how they do it.

 

When I replaced the gauge cluster on my bike I just removed the old speedo from the housing and put it in the case. My housing was all busted up but the gauge worked fine.

Oxygen

 

Yea well they got so heavy in the more recent years so honda thought they would need a reverse goldwing style. :thumbsup:

 

Best suggestion so far.

You can't just "roll the tumblers" unless you're a Swiss watchmaker. The parts are housed in a stamped steel frame that is peened together(you'll know what I mean when you take the gauge out); it would be very difficult and time consuming to accomplish.

I only know this because I took my gauges apart to switch the bulbs over to LEDs...

 

maybe a phone call to

Joel Levine Company: Speedometers, Tachometers and Ampmeters Repair in Atlanta, , GA 30306

hear good things from my vintage buddies

 

I did that once and melted the cable outer. More lube may have helped but...

 

I once tried a drill too, in two days the drill (Bosch, expensive!) was dead, the bushes totally worn out. and it only reversed about 4000km. Eventually dissembled the speedo, opened the dial and managed to reset it. one must be careful though, if you let something slip or assemble incorrectly- problems... Be sober when you do it

 

That's got to be a record for oldest thread resurrection.

 

Nope!!!!!

 

Nearly 8 years. What's the record then?

 

Pretty sure Stephen King answered this for the OP when he wrote Christine.
