hee hee,, well sorta. We DID take it out for a short jaunt but with no fenders and open headers I figured I'd get pooped so we made it short.   

Its on what we call the dyno,  jack stands so checking the speedo is oky dokey   

I'll get some more music up as to sooth the savage mikey beast

Glad it's on the street.

Whatddya mean? The jack stands are rated at 149 MPH so we should be ok no?

Dood while Im at it what holds the cable into the speedo? Dont see a nut or anything 

[mikepmcs]

is there a plastic housing on the end of the cable?  If so, are there 2 groves on the side? If still yes, then I would think there would be a clip that holds it on there almost like a window crank handle.
