Re: Dial overlays
Haven’t used those ones but have used these.

I bought some gauge faces for my Goldwing which were rigid plastic and very good quality. However, the GT faces are printed on 0.5mm aluminium.

Re: Dial overlays
On the T500 clocks it’s quite easy. Underneath they are sealed with a strange, very tough green sealant pick this away and wiggle the cases off. You can remove the speedo/rev counter needle but I just threaded the overlay over the needle carefully and they went on easily.Roger Ackery wrote:Hi,how big a job is it to remove the casing to do the job ?

You can also get new cases and glass for not a lot of money from these guys.

Re: Dial overlays
I was very wary about opening them up to be honest! I’ve never attempted to strip clocks before but provided you take your time it’s surprisingly easy. I did have the advantage of having working gauges before I started so mine where just a cosmetic refresh. I’ve got a spare rev counter so I’m going to delve deeper into the innards.slosher wrote:And a cracking job you have done there very bloody nicePaulD738 wrote:I bought some for my T500, very easy to apply and look great when finished.
