Gauge cluster lens fix?

[alvald83]

My speedo and rpm gauge lenses are hazy and there is a crack in the rpm gauge. Is there a way to replace the clear plastic lenses without replacing the whole gauge unit?

i would assume that effort wise, you'd be better just to replace the whole unit, if you could get ahold of one. If anything, break em out, that'll solve two problems :{P

Its a complete thing. You'd save time just getting a complete replacement, or. Knock em out

Well, here was my thought. I can have some clear plastic discs made to match the original lenses from the local plastics business. Then, using a side cutting dremel blade, carefully cut the original lens out and adjust the cut out with a half round file. Glue them in with some type of clear glue. I do have a spare unit to practice on.

From what I found on line it looks like all the lenses are the same from 83 to 86. I'm sure your method will be less expensive but if you're looking for a stock alternative....

I have also seen a couple on ebay but I didn't have any luck searching by the Yamaha part #.

 

Hope this helps.
