    GS1000S Meter Glass

    In searching for the glass piece that covers the fuel, clock and temp gauge, I found two from the same location.

    I was hoping to be able to offer one to site members. Unfortunately, one came through broken.

    The one that is is intact seems to have a film on it. Does anyone know if this is some type of anti-glare coating?

    You sure it's not just a protector that peels off?

      I'd go with Ed - protective covering. They all seem to crack through the clock adjuster hole. I had to make mine for my bike.

        I can't see that it has a protective coating. It is definately more than a clear piece of glass. I put the piece on a magazine and it was very clear. As you pull the glass off the print, the print gets blurry. The farther you go out, the blurrier it gets.

        If you catch it at the right angle and light, it looks like it is slightly frosted, which is why I thought maybe some type of anti-glare.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            I had a couple of cluster lenses that looked like that for the 83 and up 700/750/1150 clusters. It's like it's part of the glass, fuzzy from certain angles but put them over the gauge faces and they're nice and clear. Looks different from others I have had of the same design, and it is weird for sure...maybe they did that later on or in different markets? It definitely prevents glare, whatever it is...
