Cool stuff Perry! I never realized there were such specialized tools for doing that sort of stuff, I learn something new every day!

Mark - the bent screwdriver and bezel straightener should be self explanatory so I assume you're interested in the bezel roller. Yes, I have one and even though I paid big bucks for it and routinely use it happily, if I was starting from scratch I'd likely make a press type tool to roll the bezel on. The factory came up with that unit because they had several different sized speedo bezels to roll. Since all the 509 series speedo bezels on Harleys are the same diameter a press unit would be a lot more straight forward to make. I'll attach a couple photos showing what the factory supplied press units look like (that my "chain roller" superseded). First picture is what Stewart Warner supplied to the military during WWII ...

I have used John Bordas as well. Did a great job of fixing, cleaning my 59 speedo and leaving the appearance original. Met John finally at Davenport last year...Great guy
