Has anyone ever replace the face of their speedo?

Yes, it has been done. Somewhere I have links to instructions. If I can find them I'll come back and edit them into this post. IIRC, there's a warning against wiping the film off the back side of the sight glass.

We had a guy here who printed custom faces before he died. My plan was to replace the face on mine with something very basic but correct the spacing of the marks so the needle would indicate the correct speed. Never got around to it. Probably won't.

On edit:
Here's something on a CB750 speedometer. Don't know if Shadows are the same but suspect they are. Honda likes commonality/consistency. Another two links I had are dead. I *might* have something on another PC. I'll be back with that if I find it.

I believe this is the link. Or the one I had saved anyway. I have the issue of my glass being very smokey inside. Real bad. The issue is the anti fogging agent they put on the back of the glass seems to dry out or something over the years. I plan to do this same exact thing soon as I can't stand it anymore. I will indeed touch the back of the glass, and remove the old agent. Just need to find a good new anti fogging agent to wipe back on there before I put it back together.

That's a good link but not one I had seen. Anti-fogging agent was the biggest reason I didn't change mine. The agent on there now is NOT applied evenly -- much heavier on the right (from my perspective) than the left. If I open that thing up I want to be able to clean and replace that agent. Haven't put enough effort into finding something that will work.
