Topic: custom replacement gauge face (CB550 Tach)

[rlarkin70]

Hi. Does anyone have a vector based file of a basic CB550 tach gauge face? Such as Adobe Illustrator.

What I want is something that has the tick marks and perhaps numbers on it, or one done with layers so I could start from almost scratch. Anyone willing to share their work???

I've got one that matches the faces on my 72 500.  Are they the same size?  I've simplified the file to the point where I can create a custom face in less than 10 minutes.

i have some in a eps file ..... i did this so i could take the file to any print or decal shop and have them print it out right then and there... cost me like 5 bucks for this one.. i have one with it starting at 6 o'clock as well ...let me knwo if you want me to email them to you

hey, thanks for the offers. I am not sure of the size, I haven't measured it but I think they are the same size on the 500 and the 550. I have sent each of you my email, if you have some time I would love to see what you have.

Could one of you guys send me some files for Gauge faces?  I need the tach and the speedometer for both a 76 550f and a 72 500.  Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same boat! If you are sending files, I'd be grateful for a copy too.

Thanks

Wow. I could SO use that file..

[rlarkin70]

Guys, send me your email addresses in a PM and I will send what I have.

My work on the custom gauge face stopped when I dropped my tach and broke it while attempting to rig up a bracket.  I found a replacement tach off Ebay, but it is for a Kawasaki I think and is smaller diameter and different tick marks. It fits the bike, and the cable, so I'm going to just use it as is.

Happy to send along what I have though.

I know this thread is old but thought I would try.  Can you send me the EPS file as well?  The white one looks sick.  Thanks.
