remember though, I only have a '76 cb750k face to go from.  I don't know how the F's differ, much less the other bikes models.  Pics and measurements of faces can be posted here or emailed to babyfood1217@hotmail.com.  And to anyone who sends/posts something: don't be pushy about getting files posted.  School comes first.  I mean it.

They (the ones I started) is coming along quite nicely.  I imported an image of someone elses gauge face with a scanner, and locked it down in Adobe illustrator so I could trace everything.  Just trying to get angles of the tick marks right, then to find a good font for the numerals and letters.  Should be posted up here in a couple of days, but I haven't had a chance to share this idea with the local sign/decal shop yet.  Soon soon..

'Face vectors'... blah blah...Adobe...blah...  How do I put it back together already?!?  I'm dying to take mine apart just to prove I can.






BTW - Didn't somebody around here have some custom faces for sale with 50's era pin-up girls on them?  That's something I could get behind.

Is there a reassembly thread?

I have this gauge. Where can I get white faces?

One more I didn't add that I'm currently doing for Nick.

Thanks for this...

Thanks again dusty!

Yeah, they're meant to go over the old faces.  The cutouts are just for illustration purposes.  Here are what the actual printed gauges look like.  I throw in a new exacto blade with a set.
