xcsp Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Anyone using something like this on their bike? http://www.ebay.com/itm/272414653109?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT How vulnerable to scratches is the clear lense over the gauges? I know the one on my FJR can be scratched easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJM Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I have some tiny scratches on mine and I'm gonna try this product on it. I had this on the shelf already from my jeeping days, it was supposed to work well to remove scratches from soft top windows. I just used it the other day to remove scratches from my f150 gauge cluster. I rested an iPad on it the other day to monitor some stuff and the dust covering it combined with a bumpy road left some nice scratches. It removed them completely so I'm confident it'll remove them from the FJ instrument cluster as well.

carey Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Could somebody send me a copy of the template in pdf or whatever format is needed to print a copy. When I go to the link provided by Clint, I get a 3 page printout with the right margin cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fadinfast Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks, I had a heck of a time getting to be a member of this site. The Capsha would never give me any numbers or letters to prove I was human so I never got on. However all your help has been invaluable to me and I want to thank you all for the extra time you spend on those who are not so knowledgeable. Now I can cover my instruments with ease. Thanks again.

BentAero Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Do you think the PET film referenced above would prevent the screen burn from the sun focusing thru the windscreen? Keep Asheville weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted March 21, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 21, 2017 Installed the recommended Zoom tablet film cut with the template. Maybe I did not clean the perimeter well enough but the film is not sticking around edges 100%, even after rubbing it down again. It was only 43 when I rode thogh, maybe in warmer weathe it will adhere ack down. Also, screen is more than a bit duller so I increased brightness to 9 if I recall correctly which made it better during overcast daylight but near dusk I was paying attention to traffic on the way home and did not notice if the display was then too bright.
