Title: Replacement Speedo/Tacho bulb holders
Post by: Sye on January 04, 2016, 09:38:02 AM

Just a heads up really. I have a damaged bulb holder on the speedo, so I was looking for a replacement and found them from the strangest place and cheap too. They fit perfectly and are just the job. the UK link is here:

and the US link is here:

Free shipping from India arrived in ten days. the quality is fine and the fit is excellent.

You get two holders connected into one but they are easilly separated so you get two. Good to go.  :D

Thanks Sye,  I've been looking too.  Used electrical tape which doesn't hold too well.  I'll get the order out for these. Harry

    Harry,
              The rubber bulb holders are fine and provide a good replacement for the original BS items.  
     Just be aware, when mine came the wires from the two bulb holders had been paired about 3 inches from the holders with only twisted wire joints  >:(.
   Not a problem for use on the BS because you have to separate them anyway and solder on the correct wires but if used as they come on another make of bike, I would strip off the tape and solder the joints.
   Still a great find and reasonable price.  ;D
       Brian.
