Joe,
Mark Etheridge from Moto Guzzi Classics helped me out with my speedo. He
has plastic silkscreened faceplates with lettering as you describe.

Mark if you are out there, I haven't put the speedo back together yet.

 I picked up a V700 speedo a couple years back that was beat up in a
collision. The other day I pried off the bezel, took the guts out, and
straightened out the can. All the mechanism is in tact and it should
work fine. What I need help with is the lettering on the dial. It was
originally silk screened onto the back side of the clear plastic
faceplate, and now all that exists is the shadow of the original paint.

Is there anybody on the list that deals in silkscreening tee shirts? I
know a lot of those businesses have software programs that will take a
scanned image and use it to make a screen-that would be just the ticket
to re-paint my speedo dial. Or if anyone knows of someone who could do
this for me that would be great.

Any help appreciated-thanks!
