The face on my tach has come loose. The tiny screws that hold it in place have come loose, and are still inside the tach assembly. I am able to remove the tach assembley from the housing, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the glass off so I can get in there and repair it. I...
I just pulled this off the '78. There's no threading for a mirror and no wiring for the brake light. I'll be looking for stock chrome parts as in chain guard and fenders or a decent fuel tank and metal tins......Standard or Special. I've also got a nice Special tach with high beam and neutral...

75 and up gauges, some standards and some specials. if asking please use odometer reading to ID the set you are talking about. That one set of special gauges is REALLY nice, shows 5K will include the better silk screen indicator panel below it. thinking $100 for those, others priced downwards...

The bike in question is a 1980 XS650 G.
It has 3.1 original miles. It sat in a garage in Wisconsin for 31 years. It was not properly broken in. We cleaned the carbs, put on a junk tank so I can save the original.
To the problem, as you can see...
