Replacement Dash

[krismoto]

Just picked up a 98SE

The bike is in really good cosmetic condition besides a melted dash. Is that a common thing? It kinda curled up at the top of the speakers. I figured maybe it was parked with the sun hitting the windshield just right to deform the plastic.

Anyway looking on eBay I find a few but some say they are gray and mine is black but hard to tell if one person's gray is another person's black. Others don't say anything and I can't tell from photos, but I asked a seller and they said it was gray. Just wondering how many colors the dash came in and if black is specific to a model year. I guess mine might be a dark gray but that is from sun fading pretty sure it was black from the factory.

I want to get one before I do the LED dashlights mod and windshield. If anybody has a parts bike with one in good shape let me know.

Thanks!

They were available in several colors. Black, grey, red, brown, and maybe others. 98 would be gloss black.

Thanks, that will help narrow down the search. The lights all still work so I guess I'll just have to keep a look out for the correct dash color.

Just so this shows up in the search function the correct part number for the 1998 dash is:

64241-MT8-770ZK

I think the part is the same from 1997-2000 but don't take my word for it.

Alt part number:

64241-MT8-770ZL

The part is called a meter panel.

Partzilla had no stock and Revzilla doesn't ship here. I ended up using Mega Zip which looks like a scam but I dug a bit and found that they are some kind of reseller. $300 CND ouch! But it would have been $150 (the shipping will kill you) for a used eBay one that wasn't a color match. Figure I'd rather have an NOS item.

Now I can figure out the LED's.

BTW I used the NOVUS 2 plastic refurbishing stuff on the windshield quickly yesterday and very impressed with the performance. I can see clearly now but still shows some age. I will do a better job when everything is apart.
