I got the clocks on my S2R fixed by Scorpio Electronics, they are based in King's Lynn - google and you will find their contact details. My clocks lost the accumulated mileage and displayed
------- whilst the trip mileage and everything else was working perfectly. They were able to return the instruments to me displaying the correct mileage and they have been completely trouble free since. Very reasonable cost too.

I used this company to fit a new glass in my Monster speedo, but then I live near Nottingham.

Might be worth giving them a call.

....or you could try contacting Speedy Cables
I used to use them back in the 20th Century, when they were near Baker St.

Interesting, my tacho glass is cracked, I'll get in contact with them.....how much was your repair if you don't mind me asking.

That'll be a no then, at least they responded:

Attn Alan.

Many thanks for your enquiry.
I regret we are unable to replace the glass in this instrument as we do not have any replacement
Bezels and the old one will not roll on properly and seal the unit, so you could well start getting condensation
Inside, Sorry we cannot help you in this instance.

Regards
Tim

Interesting i have contacted several instrument repair companies in UK and Holland the dutch company can repair Ducati ones BUT its cheaper to buy a new one !!!!!! all the UK companies will fix anything Jap, Brit yankee but they wont touch Ducati Items !!!???

seems we are pariahs or is it that CEV stuff is just Crap


I am thinking of buying a cheapo chinky modern semi digital dash panel for £29 as it will be a fraction of price of crummy ducati intruments ,, although \i prefer traditional 80mm tacho speedo combinations all after market ones are way too expensive

Keep an eye on ebay, they do come up from time to time for decent money. I picked up some nice chrome ones with white faces from a Sport Classic for £50 not so long back.

Won't SS or 916 clocks of similar vintage fit or have usable donor parts for yours? These seem to more common.

no good because they have oil light not immobiliser light circuit in ,, that would be too easy

not sure if i can remover the immobiliser lamp circuit from the tacho and put it somewhere else ??
