I tell ya I'm about ready to check into one of those digital ones because I just got another busted instrument panel in the mail again for the second time.

It's the same break as the one I sent back last year to this guy who said it wasn't broken when he sent it.
The needle is sideways always on the right side, making it look like a factory defect then shipping issue. It's out and jammed sideways between the glass and the face of the panel. I now have to send this one back or try to pull the lens off and put it back in. I think I've read on here how others have taken apart the round lens and replaced the plastic. This is frustrating, mind you this was still in the factory Duc box wrapped tight in plastic and the needle was defective.
I get the feeling the seller knew it was like that but lied in the advertisement and how can one be so cruel and make it sound new.
Okay so what would you do..call the guy you bought it from tell them and send it back, get a refund, or just try to fix it.
Or maybe they come that way...who knows..it seems every time I buy one its the same story. Why would Ducati sell parts that are defective.. Do they expect you to just put the needle back on before you put it on your bike..wtf. It just seems odd that a part in a box would be like this..or maybe again it is shipping. Hence the thing was floating in bubble wrap tight as a drum in the box it was sent.. I don't drink but things like this make me wanna
