    GS1000 cockpit - blue faceplates ?

    Hi all,

    i've found a GS1000 cockpit, the one for the chain drive,
    with blue faceplates.
    Never seen those before, and have been looking
    at pictures, prospects etc but cannot find anything but
    the brown ones.

    Does anyone know which model these are for ?

    thanks,
    Rijk

      I thought all the GS's had brown faced clocks. Curious to see a blue one.

        There was a guy on here years ago who made faceplates for the clocks, loads of different models if i remember. Cant remember if he did blue ones but i had a set of white ones made for my 78 1000.
        They were proper face plates as well, not just decal overlays.

          Wow, that looks *great*, i would love a set like that.
          How did you open the clocks ?

          The color of mine is more of a grey than blue, used to GT
          clocks i called it that.

            You have to prise the tops off, carefully. Its a bit fiddly but not too tricky. Just crimp them over again to refit.

              i did that once, wiggling a small screwdriver to bend open the ring
              but that was not pretty.
              Kept thinking there had to be a better way.
