after 3 separate GW speedometers on my 82 Aspencade, I put a Speedometer from a old CB500.. no more problems.
I did take the original speedometer apart to see what happened to it. well let's just say these are NOT made to be repaired.
i managed to get it apart and found that the bearing by the magnet was wore out. I never was able to get it back together.
last time I checked a NEW one cost over $600.00.
after the 3rd used GW speedometer I got the CB500 one. I lost the auto off turn signal, but I now have a working speedometer.

The 83 gl1100 naked and Interstate speedometer is less likely to fail from over speed breakage. 82 has 85 mph top speed, 83 has 150 mph top speed.
