KZ1000 instruments.

Does anyone know where I could purchase parts to rebuild a speedo and tach. I am mostly interested in the steel band that holds the gauges together. Any info is appreciated.

im not sure where to get the rings,i opened a set years ago and somehow got them back together but promised myself id never attempt again! :laugh:

Are the current rings mangled so badly that a dab of JBWeld isn't feasible to hold them in position on the reassembled meters?

Actually the rings are mint. All I want to do is clean inside the glass, repaint the upper halves and reassymbel.

Here's a diy option from an earlier thread ---

i've taken the tach apart but not the speedo. it's real easy if you use a dremel to cut the chrome ring, and then some jweld and hose clamp to cement it back together.

The old article suggests removing the band around the gauges by levering it up from the underside. I have found that results in too much damage to the band to make it look good after it is put back on, and crimped down. Therefore, I instead took a dremel with a cut-off wheel to the band, and sliced through it, being carefull not to damage the gauge cover. Then I slipped off the band, and did my gauge clean-up. To reinstall, I assembled the cover onto the gauge, slipped the band on, and held it tightly in place with a rubber band. Then I placed a drop of JBweld epoxy onto the gap in the band, and let it dry. (Make sure you mount the gap in the band at an location that will not be readily visible when the gauge is remounted onto the bike.) That has been working well for over a year.

Chrome covers for the top half of instruments was once a common popular accessory.

Each chrome cover is held in place by a removable chrome ring that tightens with small nut and screw (hose clamp fashion). See red circle on the image below.

The accessory chrome ring fits over the stock crimped ring.
Am thinking the accessory ring would help secure the stock ring after cut and glued back in position. But likely won't alone serve in lieu of the stock ring.

The chrome covers were relatively inexpensive.
And might yet be available, maybe on ebay.

A chrome hater could paint/pc/gunkote the covers to achieve any other finish desired.
