    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Make your own speedo/gauge face plates

that seems like an awful lot of time and effort to me, just to correct a few MPH discrepency. especially as the laws (in the UK anyway) state that a speedo only has to be accurate within +/- 10% above 60MPH. so speed cameras etc, always allow for this discrepency.
 
That seems like a LOT of effort for a marginal correction.

I've been making my own face plates for a long time. I had this one on my CX500

I have my wife cut them out of vinyl using her Cricut and I stick them to 1/16" lexan. You paint the back side of the lexan in white, yellow, orange, whatever, and it it shines through great.
 
Agemax: Agreed about the calibration.

makenzie71: very amusing. hadn't seen that before.

I mostly posted it for the part about having decals made at Kinkos.
