Odometer help?

[sauldgold]

Hi all,

I recently bought a t3 speedometer to replace the 100mm one on my G5.  I have been attempting to match the mileage of the "new" speedometer to the actual mileage of the bike.

As you may have surmised by now, I have not achieved great success in this endeavor. I would equate it to a chimpanzee trying to translate greek into chinese; mildly entertaining to watch at first, but ultimately hopelessly frustrating for all involved, especially the chimp, aka me 

I've searched the site and viewed several youtube videos, but I'm just not getting anywhere. Perhaps one of you kind gents could point me towards a helpful tutorial?

Hook up the cable to a drill.

I thought about that but they were 30k apart so I thought it would be faster to just pop out the odometer and adjust it manually.  woops.  now its like a cylindrical rubik's cube I can't make sense out of

Hook up the cable to a drill.

Even if he spun the input at the equivalent of 200kph, it'd still take 150 hrs on the drill to put on 30,000 k

It may not be doable. When I replaced the defunct speedometer on my old Triumph, I just stuck a label on the glass with the original mileage to be added.
