I have a 1973 Honda CB350, and the face of the gauges are starting to fade. Does anyone know how hard it would be to take them apart and rebuild them? Or, better yet, know of a business I could send them to to replace the faces and the glass?
In 1973 Honda sold more cb/cl 350 motorcycles than ALL the other motorcycle manufacturers sold motorcycles COMBINED. The CB, CL, and the SL all had the same guages. I don’t know about a refinish but replacements are available all over. Call 610-521-6700. Ask for a nice set. Also can fit 72, 74, 75.

For instructions on how to dissassemble your guages, check out http:kzrider.com/content/view39/11/ I know they show Kaw guages, but the operation is exactly the same.
The other idea is to replace the guages altogether. I just installed a speedo and tach I got from JC Whitney’s online catalogue. They’re a bit smaller than the stock guages, but hook right up, are illuminated, and work great! Oh yea, they’re only like 39.95 US$ each.
E-mail me @yahoo.com if you need a pic of them installed.

I know that it is hard to take them apart because they are made to not be taken apart. Everything is in there permanently so that the numbers can’t be changed. But that doesn’t mean that someone hasn’t figured out a way to restore them. I tried to find someone on the Internet to answer your question but I’ve failed.
