Hey guys I think it is time to redo the faces of my gauges on my cb350f.  The only overlays I have seen are from one ebay seller.  I know it is a tad tricky to open the gauges and pull the needle off and apply the new overlays.  I have googled looking for services but can only find the guys at cb750faces.

Does anyone know a reputable company that produces gauge face overlays and can do the install?

thanks

james

Have you thought about just replacing the complete faceplate yourself, and not just trying to put a sticker on correctly?
I went this route with my 750's gauges, and I think they turned out ok  ;D

A member here has a ebay store with appliques and complete plates.  might have them for 350.
email him.  Ebay store name is Main Jet Moto

your translation app is confusing.

Also I reached out to those ebay guys and they contacted me.  They do not do servicing and and they do not make the plates for the cb350f anymore cause they said that their demand was too low :(
