I know the back cup comes off, but has anyone opened up the glass face to clean it up, mine is really grubby. I have a feeling the PO had the back cup off for some reason for a length of time, dust, fine sawdust stuff, etc.
Bugs me.

Someone posted a link on the forum for a place that fixes those gauges. If I get time, I'll look for it.

I usually just replace the gauges with VDOs. Do a search here to find out more.

Thanks for the reply Duck, I'll see what I can find out.
VDO's, yep ran a head temp gauge on my Duc 900 SS back in the 70s when I lived in CO, wide open roads back then.

thanks Jim. After reading much on this forum and others, I think I am going to try the VDO route, cheap enough for the temp sensor, about $30.

If you're going the VDO route:
Note that the VDOs also come with a chrome rim if you are so inclined.

Thanks Duck for the schematic, just changing the temp gauge for now.
It seem like you have been around the K11's for a bit, so, what is that "clip" on the cover of the right fairing storage bin for?

The left cover if you want to leave it off of the radio.

Yea, and when you have the left cover fastened in that clip, you cannot see the temp gauge.......

But you get a red overheat light so you have that going for you...
Most of the temp/gas gages delaminate on the lens which causes the cloudiness. Watch eBay and sometimes they show up in mint condition.

Ahhh.
Seems like that the VDO coolant temp gauge with stock sensor is fairly accurate, can see the thermostat open at about 183* or so.
Great board !

My 2 cents, install a 160 or 170 degree thermostat. There is a post here I did on it.
