I was looking at this yesterday. It seems everything is geared towards just the speedo crapping out. The whole cluster is gone in my case. I'm probably going to try pulling it off tonight.
Although the instrument cluster on the old "K's" are known to crap out. I would first check and clean all the contacts in the electrical connector first.
The attachments came from a Haynes manual.
If you look on left margin of pg.#1 of the K100 electrical diagram(K75 is the same) you can see that there is several separate ground wires going to the instrument cluster, one of which runs the tach, speedo, gear indicator, neutral light, high beam indicator, etc.

One of the local gents here had a spare pod sitting on his shelf that he sold to me for a very reasonable price. I popped it in today over lunch and bing bang zoom the bike was up and running perfectly.
I owe a big thanks to Tom for parting with his spare, since he has 4 K bikes.
I'm off to find out how much it'll cost to have my original rebuilt.
