Hi guys,
My '71 (K5) CL175 has a non-working speedo. I checked the cable and it's ok. I also put the inner cable into the speedo and ran it up to speed with a drill with no luck. The gauges are in good shape cosmetically and I'd really like to keep them original to the bike. Anyone have any luck getting the plastic case off a CL175 open? I'm sure the plastic is quite brittle and I'm afraid of wrecking the case if I just pry it off the metal back plate. I was thinking of trying a heat gun to hopefully warm & soften things a bit before trying to pry them apart.
Any thought? Thanks for your help guys!!
