Warped Tach Face
« on: April 30, 2019, 07:45:07 AM »
The black tach face with the numbers on my '91 K75S has warped from the sun and the needle hangs up on it.  Motobins in the UK used to sell the decal but it's no longer listed.  Does anyone have a source or a repair technique? I figure since I'm gonna be in the cluster replacing speedometer gears, I may as well fix this, too...

mine warped enough for the needle to hang up on it, I put some skinny shims between the front of the plate and the edge of the housing to fix it.  Don't know of any replacements other than a used one
