100 MPH Corbin Speedo Installed - At Last!
I can't believe what a pain it is to install an old Corbin speedometer assembly on my Harley J series. I bought all the parts from Terry Marsh (highly recommended) and figured I'd have it assembled and installed in an hour or less. WRONG!

I loose fit the head and bracket on top of the fuel tanks, installed the drive cable to the speedo head, loose fit the drive and gear with the drive cable installed, and then installing the ring gear drove me nuts.

The first session was more than an hour, and today was another hour or more, but I finally have it done and it seems to line up OK and work. I'd like to put a few hundred miles on it to make sure all is as it should be.

I need this to work well now and on the entire Cannonball to help keep me on course and following the route instructions.
