(broken) tacho needles

[Steve Lake]

i now have 2 SRX tacho's with broken needles!

does anyone know of a repairer of such things?

[iansoady]

I made a needle out of a coffee stirrer for my CB250RS! A bit agricultural but worked for me. I just stuck it on to the remains of the original with super glue if I remember correctly.

Try these Steve.

like your repair ian, i'm a big fan of upcycling.... my problem is, i cant see a way of removing the bezel without wrecking it.

[iansoady]

If the bezel is crimped on as most are you can sometimes get them off with end cutters used carefully although I always manage to mangle them. The Honda was easy as it didn't have a bezel as such, everything came out from underneath.

Flippin heck Steve.....that's harsh. Although it will be a very good job. Have you tried fleabay or Jauce in Japan?

Addendum .....how about DK Motorcycles in Newcastle under Lyme?

I have a spare tacho from the instrument panel I fitted to the B'Zuki if it's any use to you - yours for the price of postage and a pint. Let me see if I can find a pic.
