disassembled and sprayed faces with a paper preservative/fixative/UV protectant. Beginning reassembly.
I will share these with anyone who wants a set via snail mail.
Or if you want something custom; white or whatever. I am willing to try that.
Of if you have a different bike I'm willing to make a set to match yours. You'd have to either send me the faces to copy, or a good scan of them to copy, or the whole gauge(s) and I'll take them apart, make faces and reassemble.
Cost: shipping, nothing else. For the good of the order.
I see commercial versions available for cheap on ebay though so that may ultimately be easier if they have what you want.

re-crimping was a pain, big flat screwdriver and a hammer. Other methods (plyers) were leaving tool marks. But done. Back on bike, look nice. Next up, fork seals......yeah.

PS
Don't be stingy on the glue. My faces are lifting a bit so I have to go back in and reglue. Ugh. I was VERY stingy so I could reposition if off but then left them where I should have reglued.

I found a few cool gauge faces on a blog. I'd like to have some made. Any chance?

Are these supposed to fit your bike? If so and they are high enough res. should be able to print and go, or is this just a sample of what you want? Either way, if I can help, I'd be happy to.
