Title: cracked instrument bezel Post by: Armor on April 26, 2012, 03:53:48 PM I have no idea how it cracked, but I now have a crack in my tach and speedometer lens. Searching, it looks like my only solution is to find a used cluster and transfer the front plate with the lenses. Is there any other way to fix? It almost looks like something hit the gauges (when parked?). I noticed the cracks when riding home from work.

You pretty much have to just buy a new gauge, unless someone says differently. They are screwed then glued on, so trying to get them off is likely to break them.

I had marginal luck by taking everything apart, removing the broken bits, dremeled out the crap, and glued in a piece of clear lexan that I cut with a hole saw. If you're close to the bike you can tell something's off. Otherwise, it does its job. Besides, I never look at my speedo anyway. [evil]

Can hardly see it and it keeps the rain out.
