1973 CB350F Instrument face
« on: June 02, 2012, 04:06:16 PM »
Speedo face is warped, looks like the heat got to it (tach is fine). Is this a piece that can be bought or do I get to fab one up? It may still work, can't tell if the needle will rub or not. Low priority but it' damn hot out so I'd rather surf the web than sweat outside. :)

I think I've seen some backing on ebay.  Non-stock look though.

Most of the 'for sale' ads I see where they show the odometer shows some heat damage on the speedo face.

I've seen the overlays, I may have to cut out my own backing and use their overlays.

Found and message sent. That is a damn sharp looking speedometer face you have there. Stock lighting?

Nope. It's a white gauge face w a clear backplate & blue led ba9s bulbs.

The gentleman has overlays only for the 350F so I am looking at fab'ing one up with Al. plate/sheet metal. Other parts of the project need to come together first so this will have to wait till it gets a bit cooler here in Phoenix.

thanks for the heads up on that fellow.
