[QUOTE="ianstaley, post: 112932, member: 2989"] Ah I bought a set of pre printed vinyl faces there are a few on e bay and most in the states. for instance [url=https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-GL1000-Goldwing-Cafe-Racer-Gauge-Face-Plates-Decal-Overlay-Applique-/251477592426?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a8d3b896a]https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-GL1000- ... 3a8d3b896a[/url] and [url=https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-GL1000-Goldwing-Cafe-Racer-Gauge-Face-Plates-Decal-Overlay-Applique-/310882620728?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item48620c5538]https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-GL1000- ... 48620c5538[/url] So what I did is split the instrument there are a few descriptions of how to do this on here and the other site I belong too NGW club. if you look back a bit you can see the rev counter split and the plates unscrewed. Be very careful the screws are very small and they have some sort of glue on the threads, I would suggest you get a good pair of pliers and use them to just break the glue bond before trying a screwdriver. I foobarbed two of mine. I then painted the original plates (be careful of the stop PIN) in a very bright white, the appliqués are transparent or you can get original green and black for the Ltd. Stick them down very carefully as you can and will get bubbles. I still have my speedo to do. Just out of perhaps interest I bought chrome covers from Germany to slip over the top of the instrument. you can get them here... or just search on "gl1000 chrome speedo cover" and I chose Germany in ebay as I that's where I got mine. I also have a chrome bottom cover on them. But I want to re chrome them first. Hope that helps.
