Speedo and Tach Recommendations? was created by Skeletor1977

Greetings everyone. I'm restoring a 1976 DT250 and was wondering what are y'alls thoughts on after market replacement gauge? I can use the factory set but the decals for the gauge faces are $50-60. I can put another $50 into it and have new gauges. Here's a set from Thailand that is supposedly a direct fit:



Obviously, I can't speak for the quality of this set.... Has anybody tried these? Or did you just stick with the OME? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked with DEET for refurbish cost or face decal cost?  He makes the best and most accurate decals and his refurbish cost is surprisingly affordable...  depending on the condition of what you have.

On the Thai gauges, check the dimensions they give carefully..  they won't be original and speedo is in km which could be great or could suck depending on where you live.
