Speedo sensor
« on: 12 June 2014, 07:40:36 pm »
Yet another one of these threads, it appears. I'm in need of a speedo sensor for a 99 Boxeye, and probably of some advice on fitting it. Not just the rotor in this case - the problem was caused by some numpty misrouting the cable after changing the brake pads, leaving the brake disc slicing into it. It's been working OK for a year or so since I put it back the right side of the caliper, but now seems to have given up the ghost. I'm a bit unenthusiastic on spending about 15% of the bike's value on a new one, but they do seem a bit rare second-hand. Anyone got any leads?

(Or advice on repairing a badly nicked cable, I guess...)

I have a second hand one from a 12,000 mile 1998 bike. One of the other board members has been wanting to buy it for about two months now and he recently contacted me again about it. If he doesn't buy it in the next week you can have it. I quoted him £45 delivered.

Sorry for the delay. My buyer finally stumped up the cash, so it's no longer available I'm afraid. Hope you manage to find one OK.

Bloody hell, I've only gone and done it again. Anybody got another one?
