Speedo Lens Fogged Up

[simplyd1]

Working on my restoration bike, and I am now ready to clean up the inside lens of the speedometer. What is the best approach to this task? Can the lens be pulled/twisted off? Does it need to be removed from the mounting bracket? Any advise appreciated.

Check the Tech tips. or do a search on speedo repair. I think you will have to CARFULLY bend the rim to remove the glass. If it's fogging up, you have moisture inside. You could try unbolting it, turn it upside down, and put it in the oven at about 120 degrees F. "turn the oven off before you put in the part". The dry air should chase the moisture out, and if you let it cool back to room temp in the oven, it should stay clear.

Here's a repeat of a post I made last fall.
=================
.... after learning that there was no “easy way” to remove the glass face, and wishing to avoid “cutting around the bezel” with a dremel, I experimented. Using a small, # 1, 1/8” flat blade screw driver, I carefully began to pry the bezel lip upwards from the tach body, in very small increments. After going 360 deg. around the bezel once, and raising the lip slightly, I was then able to use a toenail clipper (larger and heavier duty than a fingernail clipper) to gently grasp the slight raised lip, and continue around the bezel, prying it carefully towards 90 degrees vertical. Patience, care, and a light touch are needed, so as not to over bend any one section. After working it in this fashion, the bezel loosens from the main body and can be removed. Take care no to pry too hard, and break the glass.

After repair, ....I replaced the glass, bezel, and carefully re-bent the edge all the way around with small jaw vice grips, to secure it. I put a small bead of silicone sealer around the bezel, and the breather holes. It is very solid, well sealed and looks nice.
