removing the odometer and pickup
I would like to know what someone used as a spacer if they removed the front pickup from the wheel or is it better to just cap the cable hole somehow? i want to remove it as the odometer serves me no purpose and the cable looks like its waiting to catch on something and toss me off.

I used a toothpaste cap; inverted it, and threaded it into the hole. It held up fine. Like Ryan said; take the part to a hardware store and see what will fit as a plug. I've also used a wood plug and doused it in liquid electrical tape. That's a product you can brush or dip onto wire to cover exposed conductors. Works great with just about any motorcycle part you are trying to waterproof.

Have you tried a valve stem cap?
Thought I heard that would work before

Sometimes it's nice knowing how far you've gone and how far you can go...
