Just finished replacing my stock faceplate with one I got from Webslinger. Took about 30 min total, most of this is in shop manual pg 21-12
tools:
5mm allen (the L type not tee handled)
small phillips and #2 phillips screwdrivers
small flat blade screwdriver
kitchen fork
1. Cover the tank with a towel
2. If you have the Honda windscreen, remove it (can be worked around, but easier w/o)
3. Remove 2 allen head screws from lower cover, and remove 2 small plastic clips they are the pull type( I used the small flat blade for this pried on the center post), if the middle part comes out don't worry they go right back in, the black lower cover then comes off.
4. Remove the allen screw and remove the front cover.
5. Remove 4 phillips and washers and and pull speedometer up off mount. (there are plastic post the screws go into that are mounted thru grommets to the handlebars)
6. Pull back rubber boot and unplug cable. Now you can take the speedometer to a bench, set it upside down on a towel.
7. Remove 2 outermost screws and remove the chrome and set aside.
8. Remove 5 screws from back, around edge and 1 in center, and the rear cover will lift off. Remove the circuit assy from the top piece, I set it back in the rear cover to protect it while I worked on the face. Do not touch the inside of the clear face.
9. Use the fork under the needle to work the needle off, pulling up and wiggling worked for me, if the needle comes of and leaves the black part and post behind, don't worry it snaps back on, the black part and the "post" have to come off (using the fork) to get the stock face off and new on.
10. Use a good screwdriver for this as the little screws were tight, Remove the 2 screws holding the face on and install the new, replace screws.
11. Replace the needle NOTE I reassembled the whole thing and put it back on the bike, when I turned it on the needle moved in the self test like it should, then went to about -10 mph. I took it apart again, plugged the speedometer back in THEN I put the needle back in at the right point, turned it off and on, and all was good.
12. Reassemble in reverse order, post a pic to show us what you got.
Oh and you will loose your trip odometer miles and clock (have to reset it) when you unplug the speedometer.
