** Not knowing what the metal is on the speedo housing. Find someone who
works in a shop and have the holes filled with alumimun welding rod,
Grind, sand, polish. The "surfboards" on my bike had a square cut out
of the front to clear a police kickstand assembly. Unless you look at
the bottom you'd never know!

** Have you tried sanding it with 150 or 220? Then 400, 1000 then the
polishing wheel!
