Yes, you`ll need to find a repair specialist in Australia or you could send it across to the UK for repair but obviously at a cost:

Pretty sure there is someone in Sydney. If you can't find anybody over there, I know of a couple in WA.


PS Try your local vintage club, they have lots of contacts usually :wink:

it is not really much of an issue, I don't recall doing it, it just appeared. I was thinking about trying one of those windscreen repair kits first but will keep an eye out for a second hand cluster..

they pop up every 6 to 8 weeks... either remove the glass and exchange it . most chasing gauges after repairs just crack the outer shell when the fairing frame twists so good chance you can replace your glass and pass it on again on e bay. Have you checked a price at the wreckers???? I'm sure you would find quite a few yamaha gauges would be a std size..

Hi
I think the YZF750 clocks are the smae apart from a higher rev limit, but if you are only after the glass
