Thought I'd get a bit of the painting of little stuff started today, so I started by dismantling the instrument cluster, including the instrument covers. Sanded those down, and got rid of the rust from them, and painted the metal bits with black gloss paint. Came up pretty good actually.
On an unrelated note, I remembered how expensive motorbike batteries are today. $145 for a battery to go into my Yamaha FJ1200, after the one in it decided to collapse. Expensive...
I found that the speedo on the instrument cluster has the odometer reset knob broken off. I have both pieces, but I'm not sure how well a good glue is going to hold it. Don't really want to dismantle the speedo to get the knob out completely, I think it'll be more trouble than it's worth. I'll see how it goes.
A little weekend work done today. I'll have to make a habit of it.
See you next update.
Cheers.

Hasn't every vehicle you've owned at a speedo problem at one point or another? You're not having much luck telling how fast you're going.
You'd think I'd have it down pat as to how to fix them by now, huh?
