If your good with computers and graphics programs, you could replicate the color bar outline then print out full scale. Cut out the sheet where required and you'll have a mask. You know what to do next ...

I've heard people just use a red marker pen.

Get those sticker sets off simon or find a broken one and swap out the plates.

I used insulation tape on my R1 dash (to lower redline), redo them all, looks fine with care.
Any idea how to pull R1 Dash further apart? I want to get to the PCB but the needle is stuck on pretty well so I can't take the faceplate off. Tacho stopped working with Zeeltronics fitted, want to try mod the board.

I use a couple of teaspoons to lever the needles off, you sure it does come off on the R1

No I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking, but logically there is a hole that the shaft pokes through so the needle had to be attached later, but logic doesn't apply when you're pulling on a teensy piece of plastic hoping it doesn't break.
Another option is they screwed it on from the back, but I still can't see how I'd get to the back. Maybe I'll get braver. . . Maybe I'll be scanning the sites for another one if it goes pear-shaped.
