The speedometer on my 1972 R 75/5 seems to be acting up as the needle jumps occasionally and doesn't seem to give an accurate speed, and I don't think it is recording the mileage accurately. I haven't had time to disconnect the cable to see if it is broken, or to try lubing it, but I am wondering if anyone has ever connected a GPS speedometer/odometer as a replacement? If GPS is a viable option it may be cheaper and easier than trying to repair the original. Just wanted to throw this out there before I start checking out the original. A replacement cable isn't too expensive, but hate to get one and still find that the speedometer and/or the odometer aren't accurate, so maybe a GPS type would be a better alternative. Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated.
