I saw that "R.B." had a service that installed colorful faces on vintage Kawasaki guages. The site says that it no longer provides the service for anyone outside of the U.K. I Emailed them inquiring about a set of lime green faces for a Kawasaki Z1- kz1000, if I could just have the loose decals sent to me and how much. Unfortunately, the are closed untill the middle of December! Does anyone know of any company or person that makes colored guage face covers for a Z1? (GREEN) Thanks!

Andre at Repro Decals made this set of silver metalic ones for my H1.
I believe he has some variations on the site you can look at or you can just email or call him and Ellen.

Yep, it looks sharp Andrew.
Thats why I got amber colored LEDs for my backlights in the gauges.
All the ones in the pod are the same color LED as the jewel is in it.

Someday, I may get to see it on the road. :oops: :eh:

You can also make your own, "correcting the redline placement"
