New 505 speedo heads are NLA. They were $170 in 1999. I have never
thought it worth it on post-85s to replace the speedo head anyway
because you have to remove the needles from all of the gauges to take
one out, and the needles are not indexed so putting them back on is a
crap-shoot. I generally just supply a used instrument cluster from a turbo.
