So you had a little mishap and broke the glass/plastic covering your gauge cluster and dont want to spend $600 on a new cluster (newer bikes). Assuming the cluster still works fine... witch mine did/does maybe I can help ya out. Just get out your Dremel... your hot glue gun... and a your 1/8 plexi glass and go to town. You need to use the dremel to remove the old glass and grind down the plastic to form a "lip" to hold in the new piece. Then you just hot glue the new peice and wha la... you just made your junk cluster look good enough to hold you off until you can find a good deal on a new piece. Ok.. so its not really THAT easy... but if anyone needs the details just ask. My cluster had actually broken in half around the black plastic ring towards the top so I had to repair that as well and repaint the black plastic piece. I think it looks pretty good and will definately get me by until I can obtain a new piece.

Sitting on the bike you cant even tell... but its definately not perfect. Its much better than riding around with the gauges exposed.
