| Ken, I am looking at the same issue, except it's my white lettering for dyno, idle etc for the warning lights is flaking off and I want the face restored. From all my sources it is extremely unadvisable to try and do yourself.

I called the Guzzi mechanic and he got in touch with one of the vendors to get a boot shipped ASAP, he originally ordered direct from Guzzi, wrong move. Hopefully I'll get my 71 LAPD Ambo back this weekend. On another note, I posted a message a few weeks ago about getting my speedo repaired and got a few responses back on whom to call. The speedo I have is actually the V700 style with the speed listed by 10's (10-20-30-etc) on an outer ting and the needle and single mph segments on the inner ring. The speedo works fine, but moisture evidently found its way into the speedo and created a rust stain on the lower portion of the outer ring. All I want to do is be able to get in there and clean it off/touch up the black paint so it is not such an eyesore. The places recommended to call came up with very high prices and long turn arounds. Cheapest guy was $185, longest length of repair (Palo Alto) was 8 weeks! Question is, can I get the chrome ring and glass off without breaking it - how would I do it - or is there somebody else out there that can clean up my speedo for much less than $185. Seems crazy to spend that much money just to clean up a small spot on the outer ring. May be stuck living with it but it really is an eye sore. Any inputs/thoughts/advice? Thanx!
