Crankcase oil vent hose, $20 Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C2Y22S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I currently am using this on my 2003. Note: As this hose is intended for water, it is not oil certified. However others have noted no signs of wear for well over 10,000 miles. Even then, no loss of oil, only degradation of the rubber. At this price, and ease of replacement, it serves us to install, and monitor, and replace as needed versus OEM that is hardly available and cost threes times this amount. Taken from this thread,

I did recently install LEDS for all of my instrument lights so I believe the light should be good, connections still look good too. As long as I have the odometer, I'll monitor fuel like most my other bikes. It bugs the light doesn't work though, I'll probably end up chasing it. 6 gallons, yeah I was surprised. It was EMPTY!

I finished my fuel test today, 6 gallons, 220 miles; so about 37 mpg. And no, my fuel light doesn't work, as I coasted into the gas station.

Great thread, our list of items of which to focus for long lasting miles of riding. Thankfully, I do love to tinker!

Do a thread search, there is one of how to remove/replace the bezel.

I'm conducting a fuel test now, not sure if my fuel light even works. I have about 150 miles on the tank thus far, no light yet. I've started to carry a litre of fuel in my backpack... My new work commute is 25 miles one way, nearly all freeway so this won't take long to determine my numbers, although I don't ride every day. It's actually been raining a bunch in SoCal.

Hmm, I seemed to have forgot, my very first street bike was a V4, 1985 Honda Interceptor 500. That bike was terrific!

I once owned a 2014 Honda CTX1300, V4, shaft drive. Power was similar to the V11, but not as good, felt too heavy.

THAT'S the way to represent at DGR!

I too participated, DGR Los Angeles. I really love this show/ride/charity. I attended Orange County and San Diego in the past; they were better than LA. Instead of my V7 or V11, I took my heavily customed 1982 Honda GL500 Interstate.

Yesterday and today, rode nearly 100 miles, everything works perfecto!

I believe in God, and I also believe He has a sense of humor. Thus, He's laughing at me. After my repair, and around-the-block test, I posted my poor results. This morning, after much research, I found a NOS speedo and bought it for roughly $300 shipped. Then I hopped on the bike and did a 9 mile round-trip to Home Depot. The speedo worked perfect. Dear God, I'm humbled that I made you smile.

Going to the black face Veglia corrects the white face defect, helping negate future problems. The thread may be the same, but the angle is not correct, but I could cut the black back housing to clear it. It's covered up by the fairing so no one would see. The price is right too! Hoping someone could share any info on this swap.

anyone know if this is a direct fit, cable wise? https://www.ebay.com/itm/125898800443?epid=19057696746&hash=item1d50273d3b:g:ZogAAOSwyARkN6cA&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4IqsTjK603A1ebQnMHJX6uROCWE3sUIQW21i%2BLkzDNaR5bjrJKHDGgalMsZ%2FU0ZNLhC7X7PnsnszbW7O2%2Bcbi%2BAOvQeODlhUViWDi%2By0HDvth%2B8c%2Bb5H70PmlPohnF1Skm0bK6j%2BZo5y38HbY4aB%2BCfX1uEr%2BSq4kDHVz4xqwSpMHByJP%2BHV2AcOgjrTcG9PoZNLbX83c4WA9Hd%2B040gtEyhSrrBC8NZtHzPhomAgKxCWfgcnFob2DN46bWD3G9NxU41JIGAuDvRcyzNmwNSdNEzNQgqfvWq%2FjM7DCooLqQV|tkp%3ABk9SR5Ce1Yr5YQ

If you've read my post, I'm still chasing this speedo problem. I thought for sure it was just a gear or cable problem, and now I believe it was both that and the speedo itself, worm gear I suspect is worn. At last resort, I'll spend $400 with Joel Levine to repair mine. Prior to doing so, does anyone have a Ducati metal worm gear they'll part with, or even a spare working speedo?

I recently discovered Voom advertised on Fortnine (Youtube). Not available in all states, and of course not mine! I have seven bikes, $140 annual registration fee each, plus insurance (Progressive) I need to move!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After two months of ordering, shipping, ordering, again and again, etc, etc wrong part ordered, wrong part shipped, confusion on the "2003 sport" (2002 or 2004 fitment?) Tank off, tank on, again and again. I finally got all new and correct items. All are now installed: new transmission 60° gear, new speedometer 60° gear, new OEM cable. I start it up, and away I go. The needle is bouncing, but then smooths out and registers correct, then it doesn't! I'm so frustrated. I guess the speedo is also in need of replacement. For bike that didn't run for over a decade, it was easier to get it started, running, and dialed in than it is to deal with this stupid speedo set-up.

Bueller?

I buy a lot of used gear, as well as off-brands. With a bit of research, you'll find many name brands are mere marketing success stories, and not always a better quality.

These last few years, I've grown to really admire the grit of Brad Binder #33. After his terrific Sprint, I was rather deflated with his race, not all his fault, but chips lay where they fall.
