Title: White dials
Post by: Dustydes on 22 August 2016, 02:14:23 pm

Decided to go white as its not easy to read at a quick glance with the black.
Also changed bulbs to led's while I was at it.

Not everyone will like them but I do

Looks good IMO.  :thumbup


Are they OEM dial faces or after market?
I'd like to do this mod on my bike as well, I too find my black speedo particularly tricky to read.

Sorry for late reply's, had a few days away.

They came from ebay, £21. You will have to send message telling them you want MPH before you order.
These were the only white dials I could find.
Easy to fit following Pat's instructions
Remember to paint screws white

Thanks for that eBay dealer link, Dustydes.
It looks like they have no more MPH versions but I have emailed anyway...fingers crossed!


Another bunch called Redial UK seem to only do black unfortunately.

They don't list the MPH version, I had to wait for them to print new, 3 weeks.
I wouldn't think they would print just one for me? so you might not have to wait.

As said I changed bulbs to led's at same time made a big difference.
When apart clean the inside of windows, mine were filthy.

Electroluminescent Displays

I worked closely with 3M in the development years 15 years ago.
Generates it's own light from a printable ink, needs inverter to light up.
Nice even soft light

At £70 + its a bit expensive

Nice and clear, easy and quick to read.
And it lights up well at night, soft light.

Hi

I got them from fleybay Germany. A seller from poland makes/ made  them for a lot of different bikes. You can add your own design also.
Don't know his name :-(
