Taking apart tach and spedo for cleaning

Post by Whit »

I only notice how dirty the inside of my gages are at night. Don't look bad during the day but almost impossible to read at night. I know Allan has and maybe Coyote has redone some gages but has anyone taken apart the gages on a 1969 Titan. Don't really want to do it unless it is not to difficult as I don't want to take a chance on ruining them. ///Pat

Pat sorry for a late reply but you will not get the TitanII gauges apart without making the opened section look tampered with.
They can be done to a satisfactory level but its a bit technical since the working space is limited and the area of opening is easily seen once the gauges are on the bike.
A good mod will be to paint the interior case housing in white to help brighten the dull illumination of the zinc finish and perform some other minor updates to them for better reading at night.
You can contact me anytime about this issue.
Two strokes, its just that simple.

Hi Allan,
Thanks for the info. I kind of figured it would be difficult job but just wanted to confirm. I think I will leave well enough alone. Wanted to ask you also about rejetting my carbs but will start a new thread with that question. Thanks ///Pat
