Spirit Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Does anyone out there know of a restoration service for Katana Tach/speedo assemblies? My second-hand '83/1100 came with ultraviolet bleached needles, one of which has broken off. Impossible to find NOS items - does anyone restore them? Quote Link to comment

wraith Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Seen people use gsxr/gsxf needles to replace the oem ones. Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I always thought the needles could be replaced by coffee stirrers from McWhoppers, but maybe that was an urban myth Quote Link to comment

wraith Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I used the plastic part of cotton wool buds on my kat white but look good and work. Quote Link to comment
johnr Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 mitsubishi shogun needles are the same shape and pattern as the stock ones, but a bit longer so need trimming down a touch. Quote Link to comment
