Anyone have a good experience or suggestion for having a speedo restored?

U can buy the backgrounds online, then what i would do is wet sand the chrome as long as its not extremely rusted. Then tape it up and rattle can spray paint the black. Itll look new

possibly you could even get the steel 'cups' PC'd for a very durable finish
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !
Do your BEST...nobody can take that away from you.

Yeah u can do that also. The wet sanding is perfect if the cups are in ok shape and if u wanna keep the cost low.

Wet sanding for rust. If they r dinged up I'd just completely replace them.

looking to get a cb77 gauge restored... you think it's a better idea to buy a #$%*ty one and have it fully gone over, or spend the money on one in good condition?
