Default Where to buy gauge needles?
Hi everyone,

My friend just sold me a '98 CBR 600 F3. It's missing the needle for the RPM gauge, and I was wondering where I could find a replacement needle.



Thanks guys!

Dang that's kinda of a hard find I'd say.. Usually dealers & Ebay sellers want to sell the whole tach assembly. I'll do some re-search and see what I can find. Your best bet is buy a cheap beat up set off Ebay and just rob parts from it.. Thats my 2cents

sweet!...will that work for the gauge posted above ('98 F3)? I don't care that it's white needle on white tachometer gauge...but if it fits, then i'll buy it from you.

Will you do $10 shipped? I can pay you via paypal.

I looked through the manual and couldn't find that breakdown (the 373 pg manual). If you find it, could you let me know? Thanks!

$10 + shipping for the complete tach is a steal of a deal! They retail for $400+ ....

Are you sure? A broken gauge (w/ tachometer + speedometer + housing, etc) is going for ~$15 + shipping, so I thought $10 shipped for just the tachometer is reasonable. I'm new to this, so by no means am I trying to low ball >.<
