Is it possible (Speedometer question)

[TonyH]

I have a 1995 750SS and the speedo indicator needle has faded over time, is it possible to change the needle.

I've only had the bike a couple of days so I thought I'd ask the question before I start pulling it to bits.

Hmmmm, I believe the unit is just a 'pod' that sits in the surround. Dunno about changing the needle - why not try to to remove the outer surround and the glass cover and simply repaint the needle with some Fluro / bright paint of some sort?

Speedo's come up pretty regular on FleaBay - but stripping two units down to swap needles over seems extreme to me.

Good luck ! Frank

I agree, I should have worded the question better, it should have read can I get to the needle rather than replacing it. Thanks Frank

the gauges are sealed units and it's very difficult to remove the bevel without damaging the glass. if you send it to a professional, they could prolly open the gauge up and paint the needle carefully.

dunno about the UK, but many in the USA use these guys...
