Re: Specialised spare parts for my honda ???
yeah, agree with both these guys, (gal, sorry kymmy) ive never heard of being able to get just the glass as a spare.
even if you do get a new glass its very difficult to get the speedo apart to change it, i nearly destroyed my XT speedo trying to change the face to mph. i would go with the diy option first, youve got nothing to lose if it doesnt work. get a piece of 1mm acetate or acrylic and pop it in, sealed up with a bead of clear bathroom sealant. if not then its a new speedo, im not sure but will it fail an mot for a broken instrument glass?

Most of the bikes with single units are sealed so a complete unit is the only option.

yes the original might be made of glass, but how you going to put a new one in without dremelling out or crowbar opening the speedo? a thin acetate or acrylic will have a lot of give and should 'pop' into the groove left by the remains of your glass. imagine something like an O-ring groove
