Speedo/Tach gauge overlays
« on: January 25, 2013, 09:31:34 AM »
Hey everyone, first post but Ive been on this forum for quite some time and the info Ive found on here has been fantastic! Im well into a CB550k project and need new gauge overlays. The ones on ebay wont work for me, the space between the trip and odometer on my speedo is only 3/4 inch. The only other ones Ive found are on Lossa but Id like a more stock look. Any ideas?

The ones he has had on ebay for a while now dont work with mine, the screw holes and cutouts are off.  Found out the hard way...

how come they dont work?
were you specific enough with the year of you 550 gauge?
are you positive of the year?

i bet you could re-sell the ones that dont work here on the board...
