no clue, but this is a GREAT opportunity to get some seat time!

now, every time you need to roll back the odometer, you need to go 800 miles!!!

I lost mine once.

Ordered a new one.

Time to check the screw on mine!

#2 is the knob.
#3 is the Tiny screw that holds it in.

my dumb@$$ forgot the screw when I bought mine :(

Thanks! $10 for silly little knob?! ugh.. That is annoying. I know it's not much, but you know it take .05 to make it.. Might find something cool to put in it's place if i'm going to spend $10.

The small plastic inserts that go into the clamps to hide the allen heads, they're like $3-$4 each down here.  :o

If you bought your bike at Parts cost it would total $72,138.00. Bargain.  :thumb:

How about using the little turn knob on the switch of a table lamp? Unscrew from the lamp and glue it onto the odometer reset post. About the same size  ;)
Or drill a hole through one and use a screw to hold it on?

Funny you mention that. Guy I ran into when buying broken bikes used to run a Honda shop in the '80s. He said that he always ordered a "parts" bike that got racked and taken apart anytime something broke on a newer model. Parts were cheaper and more readily available than ordering... given the 10X markup you only need to sell 10% of the bike to break even.
