Ebody Rallye Speedo Needle
If your speedo has a broken needle, this needle can be glued right over the old broken needle. We also recommend that you carefully check the speedo to see if it needs servicing, as sometimes the bushing on the back of the speedo is worn and can allow the speedo cable to grab the speedo needle which causes it to break.

Cost $30

More info on speedo needles
- Reason 1 why speedo needles break: If the speedometer cable is dry and needs to be lubed, sometimes the cable will bind and then jump forward, causing the speedo needle to swing wildly and break.
- Reason 2 why speedo needles break: If the nylon bushing inside the speedometer is worn out and it allows the aluminum cup to touch the rotating magnet then the speedo needle can break.
- Reason 3 why speedo needles break: If there are metal shavings or rust pieces stuck to the magnet which allow friction with the aluminum cup, then the speedo needle can be broken.
- You can't use this speedo needle on tachometers.
