Hello All,
Little hiccup on my new 07 Military Bullet- The Speedometer light went out and I took a look under the housing and saw that the wire and bulb came out of the socket that it is supposed to go in (I realize that these are not the right terms for this stuff, but you'll have to excuse my non-tech talk) Anyway, I was wondering how this thing is supposed to stay in there? Right now I can fit it back in, but there doesn't seem to be anything that is making it stay up there. Any ideas? Thanks buddies.

The rubber bulb socket just press-fits into the speedometer housing.... at least thats how my 2000 model fits.

It should just kinda wedge up in there, like a peg in a board.
It would be well worth your while to go through all the electrical connections--make sure everything's plugged in properly.  If your experience ends up being anything like mine, you'll find a couple more loose connections.
