Thanks Colin great looking speedos when you had finished, unfortunately speedos on 750KO are a different assembly and wont come apart that way, pity!!! any one else know how to get into them.as Colin says I think they use loctite on these things, a well time for another cigar and a think about it!.

I've just restored a pair of CB750f gauges, removing and refitting the band rather than cutting it. I've written an article on the subject that will appear in the VJMC magazine shortly. Had to make some tooling to do the job. These gauges are far more difficult than the smaller ones fitted to the 400f, a 'walk in the park' by comparison! The images posted of those 400f ones I've seen before, looks like they were taken in my garden!
If you have plastic bodies on the KO it's a case of cutting away some of the plastic case to remove the base and then bonding it back together with epoxy resin. It does however need a great deal of care. I've only ever had one apart with plastic body, a CB125s speedo. Turned out OK

hi,
You have to take a knife blade and remove the black plastic overlap on the back (underside) of the speedo (its about 10mm wide from memory) then you can remove the inside from the black plastic shell. There is no other way other than cutting off the plastic and then resealing with silicone or similar.
sorry this is a quicky I am going to Hampshire tomorrow at 5 am on a business trip!!
cheers for now ash

@ bob the builder
i dont often give away my secrets but as you are a fellow k0 owner.
right get a very sharp stanley knife or craft knife,take a deep breath and slice away the plastic cover that overlaps the metal base dont get carried away just enough to ease off the plastic cover , if you find it a bit sloppy when you replace the cover apply a bit glue (bostic or araldite) around the rim,i usually spray wd40 on the mechanism when its apart, ive done all my clocks this way (about eight in total) so no worries :( looks like ashimoto beat me to it
