The speedo on my M2 still works, but the backlight went out. Any way to fix this? Also, does anyone have any experience with this company? http://www.harleybigboreintakes.com/blank.html

Just has bulbs in the back of gauge, pull off the rear cover and replace.

It's a strange bulb - no metal base, just bare wires - but you can find it any any auto parts store: type 2821.

And don't worry about the little yellow-orange condom on the bulb either. I pull all mine off, I prefer a white light to a yellow.

So if I pull off that yellow wrapper it will make the gauges white?

They still have a tint to the gauge face, but it is white"er". I've thought about swapping in some superwhite bulbs to get a cold white/blue light back there, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

Looks like a good knockoff of the Forcewinder. If the filter is as looks, should do just fine. Remember to use the filter oil sparingly. A little goes a long way, let it sit and spread on its own.
