I restore original Kawasaki Triple Gauges to Concours Quality. This service is far less expensive than buying NOS gauges as they are getting extremely rare and very expensive. I can restore your gauges and I also sell some restored gauges ready to go. Your gauges will appear as new and be inspected, lubed, and calibrated to read accurately. I have developed many special tools and press cylinders to disassemble, reassemble and renew these gauges. I only restore Kawasaki Triple gauges. I reset odometers to 0 or whatever mileage you request, I repair broken trip meter axels, replace glass lenses, apply new face decals, repaint indicator needles, glass buffers, and gauge cans. I have restored over 250 gauges to date and have become quite proficient at it. I Guarantee all my gauges for 6 months. Current lead time is about 1 week.
I too am a Triple enthusiast and I restore complete bikes as well, due to buying many NOS gauges that neither worked properly, didn't come with any warranty, and cost a small fortune; I decided to repair gauges and I actually enjoy it, I am retired so I am willling to offer this service to others.
I offer very fair prices! Prices start at $110 for a complete restoration as shown in the pictures below. Which will include:
1) Disassemble unit; inspect drive, fluid damper, and mechanism.
2) Strip and repaint gauge can, indicator needle, glass baffle, face screws; all paint is oven baked for durability.
3) Remove silkscreen from faceplate, paint and bake faceplate, install new correct applique.
4) Polish glass bezel and beauty ring if supplied, renew or replace glass gasket.
5) Lube vital parts, check calibration; adjust as needed.
6) Install new glass lense, compress bezel to be water tight.
7) Apply green sealant on gauge drive joint and screws just like Nippon Seiki did originally.
8) Clean odometer and trip numbers, reset odometer to 0 miles.
9) If broken: replace speedometer trip axel and knob This will add $30 to price.
10) Give gauge final inspection and retest calibration for smooth movement and accurate readings.
Sheared trip odometer axles on early '69-'71 H1 speedometers are not repairable.
It take about 5 hours to restore a gauge to NOS appearance. All gauges restored are well packed for safe shipping back and warranteed for 6 months.
