WTB K100 MotoMeter gauge odometer/tripmeter unit
« on: February 04, 2013, 11:28:10 PM »
The plastic gears have been chewed up and no longer mesh on my 85 K100 Moto Meter stock gauge cluster. I need just the odometer/tripmeter unit from inside the gauge box.  Here's a pic of part I need:





I took these to show the chewed up gears, but you get the idea.
Let me know if you have one! I'll also buy a complete gauge cluster if you'd prefer to sell it that way.

I need it shipped to Carlsbad, CA 92011.
Call me at 619-985-2527 or contact on here. thanks!

Anybody?  Still really need this, I gotta get the gauge cluster back on my bike. I'll buy an entire gauge unit if I have to. Anybody parting out a bike?

Thanks for the link to MAXBMW. That part is actually fine. The barrels with the numbers are good. I need the gearset on the outside of this unit.
I'm gonna dig thru their site to find the parts. I'd rather not send the whole unit in to be reconditioned, I don't mind fixing everything myself.
Thanks for the help guys.  That speedo service company in TX will be my backup plan. I appreciate the help both of you!

They mention a Youtube video showing how to cast your own if you feel so inclined. http://www.k100-forum.com/t4617-making-your-own-gears-for-the-speedo

Hope there is something of use in all this information.

I found a company that sells the replacement gears and was willing to mold the unique one for the K bikes.  I needed 10 people to make it happen but only found three.

It looks as if he went ahead and molded them/  I just ordered a set today for 52 dollars shipped.  Includes all three gears.

Is the contact.


Update:  Received the gears yesterday, install was as smooth as peanut butter.
