here are the guages i ordered from Sonreir  youll see them in one of the designs.  im only running the tach i think but went ahead and did the speedo too, just in case.  werent too bad to  lay and what little bubble i did have went away once i let the gauge sit and do its work.  There go Sonreir,  your gauge faces do work son!

oh by the way, he went ahead and had miller lite on the bottom instead if nikkon sekei but i thought what would happen if a bud light fan bought my bike if i decided to sell.  Basically even though he had the design (from i wanted) he went ahead and changed it again to my liking.  a cool dude.

I bought some from Sonreir and they were very nice.


Don't tighten the screws on the speedo face too tight or it will cause the sticker to twist.


Also - I wish that I would have painted the inside of the speedo housing white.

I would like to make my original CB500F Rev counter a vintage Smiths look alike.
I will just mount it upside down
Could you put the scale on like below ?

Not a problem, man.  I'll need a shot of your current tach to make sure I get the ratios right.  PM me for my email address.

Do you cut out the holes for odometers and warning lights?

I used to, but have since stopped.  I found that we were getting a better fit by leaving those areas solid and then each customer cuts them out (after being applied) with a razor blade, xacto knife, or similar.

Hey Rusnak_322,
I was wondering why you would have prevered to paint the inside, is it because you now have a blue-ish lichting?
Just primed mine open, to prepare the housing etc for the Tach Graph I ordered from Sonreir, and discovered the scale inside which is a bit baby blue. I dont mind that as I was thinking of lightning the scale with 4 to 5 blue LED's anyway.

Or would you have prefered the white for another reason ?

If you paint the inside of the casing white, it reflects the light better and makes the gauge appear brighter.
