Make your own speedo/gauge face plates

[AJ]

Was looking into speedo calibration and ran across this website. Thought someone else might be interested.

that seems like an awful lot of time and effort to me, just to correct a few MPH discrepency. especially as the laws (in the UK anyway) state that a speedo only has to be accurate within +/- 10% above 60MPH. so speed cameras etc, always allow for this discrepency.

That seems like a LOT of effort for a marginal correction.

I've been making my own face plates for a long time. I had this one on my CX500



I have my wife cut them out of vinyl using her Cricut and I stick them to 1/16" lexan. You paint the back side of the lexan in white, yellow, orange, whatever, and it it shines through great.

Agemax: Agreed about the calibration.

makenzie71: very amusing. hadn't seen that before.

I mostly posted it for the part about having decals made at Kinkos.
