    Wanted - XS1B Color Matching Chip/Part

    This is how it turn out, A little to gold I think, but that was due to the fact, that the painter did not know how this paint works.

    XS1 speedometer cover remove

    Thanks for all the replies. The tachometer and speedometer are both equal, they both have an external shell. The difference maybe be that the previous owner have changed them (pretty unlikely, not easy to find parts here in Portugal and the bike was stored for the last 20 years, no ebay lol)...
