white face gauges.
i not sure if this has been covered, sorry if it has.
has any one on here tryed to make white face gauges?????
i tried it back home for my primera. could do it again but my pc is old and slow and i have no programs or printer.

any one with a bit of time or know how want to give it a go.

you would need a speedo or tacho
pull the sucker apart
then scan the black gauges
use photo shop to invert the colours highlight parts/ change things to your liking.
print on an overhead projection sheet or similar.
carefully mount on a thicker plastic strip for strength and trim to exact size
reassemble gauges and re install.
and there you have white gauges. change the bulbs behind red, green, blue bulb covers are not to hard to find.


BE CAREFUL whn removing and fitting the neddles as thy are tricky

any one willing to give it a go????

any one got a old kph speedo they have removed and converted to a mph one.
i dont care what state it is in as long as the speedo face is still intact.
some one pulled my one apart and replaced the kph speedo with a hand drawn and calabrated mph one so they did not have to replace the entire gauge. not only is it ugly but prob a few kays out. as my bike will only be inthe country far another year i not concerned. i need a kph speedo when i get home for a mot.

if any one gives it a go let us know how it went.

I have a kph clockset I'll sell you.
