Best way to open up speedometer - Chrome round 81GS750L

Last I read was a slow prying on the back of the chrome trim ring. Still the best way?

Thanks,

That's what I have done. More than once.

The trick is to just barely get a small screwdriver under the edge and twist it to pry it out just a bit. Go all the way around, moving your pry point about 1/8" at a time. Second time around, pry the edge out just a bit more, but try to pry in between the points used on the first go-around. Third time around, you should be able to use the flat side of the driver to just move the edge out farther. Might only take three tries, might need a fourth.

BE PATIENT.
