Turn around was he got it Thursday and sent it back out the next Tuesday and I got it on Saturday. Sent out August 24th 2026 and got it back September 5th 2026. Not a bad turn around time.

« Last post by dostoy320 on September 23, 2026, 10:55:16 AM »Update on this: I cleaned the threads up a bit, applied anti-seize, and carefully threaded the nut back on, erring on the side of "too loose" to start.
I had a bit of an exhaust leak on a test ride, so I tapped the nut on another quarter turn and that seemed to do the trick.

I heard good things about Overseas Speedometer and reached out for a quote. Rick Broth replied that they no longer "work on bikes" due to lack of parts.
