speedometer/thacometer swap help
« on: September 29, 2007, 08:32:13 PM »
Hi folks... crashed my baby and now I have a dent on speedometer's upper ring. Would a B4 speedo/thac set work on my B6?? Saw one on ebya but dont know if a swap would work. Any help on this one?? Ride fast... but ride safe..

Ok will answer it myself  :yikes:. Yes it works fine.. But you have to change the wiring. On my 1999 B6 the loon is directly connected to the rev gauge. On the B4 you have a plastic plug that divide the loon into two pieces. Just used both plug's and  on the B6 loon. By the way... the B4 gauges look much better.. a more retro look ... Keep in mind that the red line on the B6's rev gauge is at 12K rpm and on the B4 gauge is starts at 14K rpm. The B4's gauges support plate does not fit the B6.
