so - the speedo has cavity protection and the tacho has a brighter smile.
And the whole clock set looks much better for having had a shower in Mr Sheen.
Suppose I should refit them to the bike now............... _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

putting the clock(s) back..............
the 3rd of 3 clock set mounting studs is behind these electrical connectors...
here (the stud with the shiny new nut attached)...........
Bimota have a habit of fitting self-locking / Nyloc nuts to studs that are secured in plastic components - I always replace them with a plain nut / lock washer / plain washer combo. But not on this one, as it's a swine to get to.
anyway, with the electrical connectors all re-connected, time to switch on the ignition and..............
the speedo dropped from 40km/h to zero, so all looks good with the repair.
Time to re-assemble the front end then...
and finally fit the fairing.........
road test next (when the replacement rear lamp assembly arrives). _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

took the bike to the MOT test station today - it failed on a sticking front brake switch (was working OK before I left my garage) and a headlamp that dipped to the wrong side. I have purchased a beam deflector to sort the headlamp - the sticking front brake switch necessitated the removal of the front brake lever to access the tiny plastic plunger that operates the micro switch. I cleaned and greased the brake lever housing, refitted the plunger, lever and switch and it is working fine now.
Good news is that the newly-repaired speedometer worked a treat, as did the new rear brake light switch I fitted earlier this week. _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.
