Hello All

I have 2005 Honda Unicorn - (with honda wings stickers on the tank). I have been touring alot with Unicorn these days. However, felt the need to have the trip meter helps me during my tours.

Subsequent year model Unicorn speedo console comes with trip meter. I wonder why not have this on my bike.

So, today I went to Honda Unicorn Dealer's spares section and told my requirement. The guy showed the trip meter to me and I was glad to see the new piece which was costing around 2.8k.

Since I wanted to make sure if this would be direct fit on to my older Uni, requested him to compare with the older speedo which he had. The screw position was all ditto. Then looking at the front curve of the plastic which was slightly obvious, he immediately got to a mechanic passing by.

I showed my bike if this new speedo could be fitted, he said, might not be a direct fit sir, since there would be some slight modification on to the front visor as the new speedo console is slightly protruding and will not fit.

Also, he scared me saying that the other day another customer had come asking for similar requirement and after taking it up, he ended spending on the new front fairing change and stuff like that, which I thought .

The other option he said, is to cut the front curve part to a thin, so that it would fit. He said this mod can be done.

So I ended up coming home empty and also disappointment.

Guys I need help to determine if my idea to plonk the speedo with trip meter possible on my bike or not.

Moderators: I did not come across any thread so have created one. Should there already exist, please merge along. Thanks.
