It's been 3-4 years since I have done it but I remember buying a knob from one of the vendors and it broke in two weeks. I then went to lowes and bought generic lamb knobs. Then I drilled it out until it was a tight press fit onto whatever is in the speedometer. Once the drill size was correct I used E6000 adhesive and it has worked ever since. If someone doesn't know what OEM looks like they would think this is OEM.

We rode the parkway on the way to AK in 78, very scenic.Stopped to camp in Jasper ,looking forward to some good Canadian beer but due to a strike all we could get was Miller High Life.It got worse,bears got into our food supply overnight despite hanging the bag from the goal post like bear proof device.We still have the aluminum white gas bottle with tooth marks ,they had no problem getting into canned food,granola,honey, bread,peanut butter ,tuna ,etc.The rangers must have had some big laughs after we complained in the morning because they sent us to the special biker camping area the day before.

You have your previous Norge to compare to as I do still have both bikes, 07 Norge & 03 EV Hydro (stock map) and I am so impressed with the "little" 1100 mill vs the Norge 1200 as the EV Cali has so much torque and a fun factor different from the Norge. Glad you got it all sorted in the end.

A lot of folk put little store in working through a project and for some that is understandable. But I contend that any idiot can buy their way to a goal but derive no understanding of what they’re working with.
Find that V7 post.

If the speedometer is on the left side it's left hand thread. Right side has right hand thread. They're both the same M2.5.

I guess I would like to ask what problem are you trying to solve? Is it really ground clearance or is it seat height? Are you long legged and just need more leg room? Or are you banging up the underside of the bike?
Ground clearance is tough, longer forks, longer rear shock. longer rear shock will change the shaft angle.
Seat height is easier Have a different seat built.

I have those bits for a baby Breva lying around, waiting. But I'm in Australia, so the shipping costs are likely to be far too extortionate. Your best bets are to keep asking around, widely, as well as chasing up breakers all over your country. The bits will be out there somewhere, gathering dust, waiting for you.

It could also be what you ride the bike through. My seized pin was on the 2014 V7, caught out in a rainstorm in the Flinders Rangers, liquefied the bulldust into paste, blocked up everything. I didn't get rid of the dried red dust until I took the bike apart & there's still some there under the wiring harness. Can be nasty stuff. It's likely the mud got into the low lying part, dried only slowly, encouraged corrosion, resulted in seizing. Combine that with an originally tight tolerance fit (each bike & part is going to be minutely different) & you have the necessary pre-conditions. No biggie - it's just another one of those things you learn to keep an occasional eye on.
