  1. Thanks, would be a similar case. Disassembly is impossible, however there is an opening in the back to access the edge of the dial. There is a gap with the side to inject and retrieve liquids using a syringe. Vinegar suggested is easy to rinse out. Thanks and good luck too! Was not supposed to be a restoration project, bought the bike after 30 years not riding. A now or never moment lasting 3 years so far. Had new tires put on it and ended up with a leaky rear tire valve. $150 to replace. Had the valve replaced at another Honda dealership, was suspect of having no weight for balance. Tested myself and found an imbalance. When asked to redo, a 7.5 g weight was placed. Said they don't put weight if less than 10 g! I would not ride a modern superbike with up to 10 g wheel imbalance! So, doing it ourself is way more fun and reliable!
  2. I chose this way, encouraged that I may not be too crazy! Got it without too much pain, just enough... Smells like an old shed, will make sure to treat the whole thing against molds! Hi, this is a 1998 Honda Shadow 1100 ACE I also had to operate to remove a little tingle in the right muffler. The piece of tube on the far left. The rattle at certain revs was "quite disturbing" to the mechanically minded!
  3. No way to reach there inside, this is not sealed but riveted shut. Thanks, would be a similar case. Disassembly is impossible, however there is an opening in the back to access the edge of the dial. There is a gap with the side to inject and retrieve liquids using a syringe. Vinegar suggested is easy to rinse out. What we see is fungii from under, the white root attachment on the glass offers a proper angle for reflexion lines. Then the color is darker gray when not touching the surface.
  4. Hi All, My motorcycle meter has developed a fog inside the glass. Neither oven to 60 °C of vacuum evaporated the fog. I took a closer look and conclude to a fungus. Seen from under, identification may be tricky! I can inject a liquid inside and not soak the dial or touch the mechanism. Tried 100% isopropanol. I can put the front glass in an ultrasonic water bath, what solution inside? Peroxyde and alcool rinse or pool chlorine+water or javel ? Finally water+dishwasher rinse? A Greek Windex soak?
