hi all, does anyone know where i can get chrome bezels for the gauges and speedo/rev, i've seen some about for triumph and mg but these don't seem to be the right size, as they are 2" where as mine are a little over 2" (58mm)

I tried to get one of the guys from the S forum to make some. I had a list of about 20 or thirty guys wanting some. Paul gsx600 even sent me some old bezels that the guy could use as templates. I sent them off and tried contacting him but he never got back to me.

I tried my upmost to contact the guy Paul, sorry you ended up losing your bezel that came from an incomplete set. Let me know how much you want to be compensated for it.

Ok , I think 52mm is a standard size which could be a problem if wedge dials are not standard. Does anyone know where the dials originally came from - BL something ?
