Gauge repair
« on: February 19, 2014, 03:47:11 PM »
Could someone tell how difficult it is to pull apart 750 K1 gauges?

Have read a bit but last time I tried on different models it ended in tears!

It ain't cheap but Marcel at CB750 Faces is the best of the best when it comes to refurbishing.  If you're restoring that's the route I took with no regrets.  If you putting a rider together probably easier to buy an used one off fleabay.

Getting the ring off is easy. Putting the clocks together is more difficult...and expensive for that ring.
