Does anyone have a link to or knows who makes the white faced gauge plates to fit the pre Y2K Bandit 1200.

How would you CHANGE them, if you could find them?
As far as I know, those glass faceplates don't come off.

The units are opened from the back after you take the chrome housing caps off.
I saw the face plates offered by a seller in France but they were in kmh for the speedo.

I also only saw them in Kmph....the guy says he can change the "Bandit 1200 S" text for "Bandit 1200 N"....perhaps he can change the Kph for Mph ???

I think it's worth asking...

The guy in france only does km/h and doesnt have mp/h. Plus his are paper and i want the real thing not pieces of paper placed inside the unit on top of the original plate.
Thanks for the info but how or whos going to generate enough requests to get a quantity to make it worth having some of those done.

Well never know until you try! They aren't a big deal to make when you have the CNC sytem! Like the Busa, the program was sent from Australia called a flip system which uses KMh & MPh.
