    How to fix cracked speedometer lens?

    When my bike was stolen, put a small inch and a half crack in my clear plastic speedometer lens. Is there any way to replace that? I find it a tad unnecessary to replace my entire cluster just to fix that. Seems like somewhere somehow I should be able to pop that one out and pop a new one in. Anyone know? Thanks in advance to any responses!

        You could probably remove the gauge...take off the bezel, as if you were going to do a gauge face change...remove the offending glass...take it to a glass shop and have them make you a new piece...or maybe you can order these things from Ron Ayers or Bike Bandit?...The problem is I think the glass is glued to the bezel...any one know for sure?

        Edit:
        Ok this blows...I checked Ron Ayers to see the gauge you were talking about and it is way different for your bike that it is for mine...I have a pre98 and each gauge is seperate...yours is a one piece bezel...that sucks because you may have to buy a whole new gauge cluster just to get that piece or buy it from Ron Ayers for $47 bucks...( I think you are looking at part #4 on the diagram)...

              a hot exacto works better if you have a small propane torch.

                Stay tuned for pictures of where I cut my own finger off WHILE AT THE SAME TIME cauterizing it!

                Good idea btw bout cutting a piece out myself. If I'm successful I'll post pics.

                  IMHO: You live in Florida, the summer rain capital of the USA. Replace it with a new one and don't screw with the possibility of getting water into your gauges.

                  And quit doing hard landings or whatever cracked it in the first place

                    Theives that stole my bike and chistled out my ignition cracked it. =/ If it were my fault I could live with it. You're probably right though bout the rain.
