gauge face replacement
« on: February 18, 2008, 07:50:14 PM »
I'm looking to replace my cracked and old gauge decals. I seen a set on feebay,I'm just not sure as to doing it myself. I checked the       f a q   and couldnt find anything. So I'm throwing it out there,to see if anyone has done it themselves,what I should look for and possibly if anyone knows anyone that does it. Anubis was on feebay and doing that service,but I havent seen him on there in a while and Gougler isnt taking on any extra work.Thx in advance.

I'm looking to replace my mismatched faces as well. I also found Anubis's site but didn't feel too strongly about the design, and they were kinda pricey.

Has anybody here made their own via Photoshop?

Thx so much guys for the replys.I plan on tackling this project in the up and coming weeks along with chopping my rear fender on my 75cb550. I'm just  waiting for the brake light to come in the mail.The threads sent wagtail and babyfood were excellent choices,not sure if my computer is working correctly the pics never came up.I'll have to try again tommorow or have the wife look at this computer.
