    Pilot box being...?

    Switch labels... they were avaliable on german ebay (www.ebay.de), check it out from time to time. Cheap too.

      The pilot box is where the warning lamps are, between the gauges. Wierd name for it, isn't it?

        If they don't cost a lot of money, >$25, I'll take at least one.

            Cost

            Should be about the same as the switch labels, but I don't know if there will be one or two labels per sheet. I have asked the supplier, but I haven't heard back from him yet.

              Still not sure what this pilot box label is. Pic perhaps?

                Go sit on your bike. Look down at the gauges. Now look between them where the turn signal indicators, oil pressure lamp, and headlight warning lamp are. The gauge panel where these lamps are is called the Pilot Box. The label is basically a decal. It just sticks down over the existing face of the Pilot Box. The background color around the lamps is black, and the lettering is crisp and white.

                      He would need to make at least 2 different ones, for the Standard & the Special. Probably diferent for the Maxim too.

                      Less than $25 put me down for one for the Standard.
                      There's always a way, figure it out.

                          I just got a firm price, and they will be $12 each, with S&H included. The only catch is the supplier will need a sample pilot box for the Standard (they are all the same) and a 79 Special. I have a sample 80-81 pilot box that I will be sending, but I need someone here to be willing to send in a sample for each of the others. Anyone have a spare they can part with for a short time? Having done business with him, and seeing his good ebay feedbacks, I wouldn't worry about not getting them back. I trust him. If you are willing, send it to me, and I will box and ship them to him, and then I wll send them back to you. Any takers?
