refurb original tacho and speedo or get shiny new?

(1/4) > >>

antonypo:
Just been looking at my original set and what a mess. Looks like the chrome, steel cover and rubber mounts are all dinted/ degraded. The dials are also faded.
I know you can get kits to refurb' these to a good standard but d.s.spares are selling a  brand new complete set for not much more than the kits to refurb - so is it worth the hassle?

Also what do you do about the original mileage when I register the bike if I do get new ones?

Trigger:
There is no rush, take your time. Something always turns up. Are you clocks the same as this:

I have seen lots of NOS clocks turn up on ebay. But, they are not hard to re-build if they are in good working order.

With respect that's not what i'm asking.

I bought a repro speedo from DS and wasn't impressed. The black started coming off around the glass before 1000 miles. The chrome base wasn't as smooth as originals, but it was better than what I had. I've since bashed it so I'm going to put my old one back on.

antonypo:
I really wasn't trying to be smarmy. I was just making the point that i was asking how i or do i have to prove mileage, is it normal to just replace etc, not to replace.

trigger 6969 - I apologise if i did offend. NO rudeness intended .... as i said with respect.
