Default Instrument Chrome Bezel Ring??

Greetings from Sydney NSW Australia.

Does anyone know where I can get chrome bezel rings that would fit around each instrument as shown below? I like the chrome bezel around the shift, and would like to find something similar for the speedo and tachometer

Thanks, David

David I think that's is just the standard cluster face for 2001+ in the 2gs in the us

I replaced the one in my 98 with the newer version. Turn arrows are slightly relocated too

In Australia we get the turn signal lamps in the instrument cluster. We also get the trip switch and reset button.

But we don't get the silver trim. In my cluster it is just painted.

I was hoping someone made a chrome trim. Fingers crossed.

Why does Sewell say "Popular upgrade for 1998-2000 GS owners models to add the turn signal lamps to the instrument cluster"??

My 1999 has the turn signal indicators in the same place. Am I missing something here?

In the 2001+ they are moved to a slightly different location so they aren't blocked by the steering wheel quite as much.

I think he wants actual chrome rings where the silver gauge rings are. His GS is an 01+, so it already has the updated bezel with silver rings.

+1

The turn signals on the 01+ are just slightly lower than the 98-00 making them more visible.

To OP. I'm sure even in Australia the 01-05 cluster bezel had the silver rings as well. But if you're just looking for the rings they don't exist.

David, you do realize the picture you posted is of the OEM dash cluster with the painted rings, right? Just in some pictures when the light catches it just right it looks like its chromed.

I've never seen the product you are asking for on a 2GS. Think its a very good idea, but don't think it exists.
