Where can I get them? Are they metal or plastic? And how do they attach to the gauges.....screws or tape?

Among numerous sources, this one looks thinner and is plastic: http://goo.gl/Pu8LBand this one looks fatter and possibly metal: http://goo.gl/ZJr7oThey mount just using silicone or other adhesive. |

Check with Big Mike at Valkyrie Bling (a club sponsor)... He had some at InZane last year. http://www.valkyrieblingandmore.com/new-bling.htmlI believe they are plastic, and attach with tape. Kuryakan also has them. http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/411/Speedometer-VisorBlack Dog |

Get them from the link below. This is a big trucker's chrome shop at the corner of I-75 and SR44, right where the north end of the Fla. Turnpike starts. And if you're looking for LEDs of any sort, this is the place....an entire wall covered with examples. Bikers are in there all the time, especially on weekends. The bezels will cost around $5.99 each. If you're going to Bike Week, stop on the way. http://www.75chromeshop.com/ |

BF....If you gho with the big rig type of bezel like John mentioned here is what you want: a company by the name of grand general makes these...THey are the bezels for a Freightliner/Peterbilt Speedometer/tachometer...part number: 840-68394...They are 3 3/4 inch diameter...They are ridged with a thin bezel. You can go to www.chromeshack.com and go tothe web site in pine junction, tn...go to the Freightliner section, yhen to the dashboard section, and these bezels will be there...they use the same part number: 840-68394...they cost $5.00 each. When you put them on...clean the outside ring on the gauges, and the inside of the bezel with alcohol....then put a little piece of two face tape at the 10-2-4-8 position, and it will hold perfectly....you will like them, and they cost 1/7 of the others ones out there...good luck, John.  |

Hey BF , be sure to measure the diameter of the tack and speedo to make sure you order the right diameter ... Because they make two different diameters , I got mine from the J & P Catalogue ... they are a chrome plastic ... I used a double sided tape on mine , they just look good , just some more bling -bling to add to our Fat Lady's ... Thanks the Geezer  |

I measure my guages at 3 5/8". The Kury's say they're for 3 3/4 guages. Wouldn't they leave an 1/8th inch gap? Looking at the picture on Big Mike's site, they look as if they might be a tad over sized.
I'm still confused about which ones to get.

BF.....The Kenworth (KW) ones are not the ones....You need the ones that fit a Peterbilt/Freightliner....you need those measurements per above....once you put put the two face tape on them and install....they fit right.

I have done some snooping around on the www.chromeshack.com web site. Under Freightliner, I came across 3 different visors: 840-68394 $5.00 801-20533 $5.99 901-502VGC $7.75 They are all speedo/tach visors, so am guessing they are all the same size. Does anyone know what the difference is between them? Has anyone tried the bottom one as that one most imitates the headlight eyebrow. Someone on here always seems to have the answers, so again thanks for the help. Brad |

bikerboy1951........get the first one: 840-68394 ($5.00). It is 3 3/4 inch in diameter/ridged/with a thin bezel. Don't use silicone...Use two face tape to install... clean both parts with alcohol, then put a small piece of two face tape at the 2-4-8-10 positions. I've been running these bezels for about 13 years now, and they work out great.
