VIDEO - Burgman 650 Dash LCD Underlay Replacement

[micbergsma]

the video show you how to get rid of ugly olive green sheet and replace for a white for better looking

[Colchicine]

Excellent!
Do you have more information of the semi-transparent stencil sheets? Thickness, type, anything, etc?

What would happen if you didn't replace the colored underlay sheet?

Any pics or video of the finished project lit up?

I also wanted to note that for Executive owners, getting to the instrument cluster will be a little more involved since the power windscreen mechanism will need to be moved out of the way.

+1

Also, will the dash be a white background with black numericals if you leave the stock bulbs in?

[micbergsma]

yeah it should be but not so white bec stock bulbs r warm white.. could be more whiter

I wish I could play more on 650 but I was in Florida and worked on Lois's 650 ALL DAY with many stuff in hurry.. I wish I have 650 near by so I can play on it like I did on my 400

Greets Kory,

As far as pics go from finished projects here are two using the led lamps from my replacement lamp list Mitch made reference to, specifically the instrument cluster section, viewtopic.php?p=423155#p423155 ->
Pics 1-> viewtopic.php?p=424550#p424550
Pics 2-> viewtopic.php?p=425076#p425076

As far as the underlays are concerned, I picked up the material to make them from Hobby Lobby, blank stencil sheets. Using the stock underlays as a template I cut new ones from the sheets and vinyl dyed one side of the new ones white so as to be as close to the optical properties of the old ones less the color of course.

Please know that all of your time, effort and expertise was/is greatly appreciated. I don't know why you chose me and my 650 but I am so grateful for your help.

I'm trying to prepare my scooter and my mind for a long distance trip to at least as far as my hometown in LA in the southwest corner of the state. My presence in LA obviously puts us a lot closer in proximity. I've had to put my plans on hold because of my role now as caretaker for a recently diagnosed cancer patient and the fight has just begun.

Thanks again Mitch. You are truly a person of great character.

Hey Mitch, If you want sources for EL lighting components you can find them in a post on my modifications thread here -> viewtopic.php?p=450441#p450441

EL would eliminate the need to make another underlay. Though the Blue/green panels are white when off instead of pink with the white ones.

[micbergsma]

oh wow thanks for that info! I'm following your thread about your 650 but I missed that part! I wish I knew about it and do that on LoJo's 650

Has anyone ever posted a pic of a lit up 650 dash with the stock underlay removed?
