Re: CBX Gauge Restoration - Bringing back the Red - Update & Pri
Here are a couple of pictures of the last set I restored. I can replace your dial faces or not, re-calibrate from 85 mph to 150 mph (but I cannot re-calibrate from 150 to 85) replace the needles. I can totally disassemble the entire movement, including the magnet shaft and bushing, replace the grease or lack of grease. I also can "bleach" the odometer and trip odometer tenth wheels. The housings are always cleaned, the light deflectors re- glued back in place. What would you like to have done? This set had the faces and needles replaced, re-calibrated from 85 to 150, bleached the tenth wheels, completely disassembled and cleaned re-lubed and reassembled. Thank you Terry!

They do look good Mike, thanks again. For the purists, I had Mike leave the original mileage on the speedo as it’s still the original, just refurbished. Mike modified the internals to make it a 150 speedo like the 79s along with rebuilt internals on all the gauges, face plates and needles. This cover will get some use whenever it’s parked in the sun.
