Having done it, there ‘might’ be a market but, the time I spent getting it apart and refitting, plus materials, I’m not sure people would want to pay for that, plus, it was a real hassle and personally I wouldn’t look forward to doing it again
You have to remove front fairing and headlight cluster to access and remove the dash. Getting the front off the unit would be impossible without removing it, to do it cleanly even more impossible. I don’t think the new front half would fit the old back very well either, especially as it’ll be a bit mangled from removal with old adhesive clogging it up
ok so just in case someone is looking to do a replacement, i did mine to day, and i have to say i was dreading it a few videos on youtube and in the manual and i have to say it was pretty straight towards to get nose cone off, took me about 45 minutes got the tacho out and run a junior hacksaw through the groove between a front and back and it came apart very easily i didnt want to take the chance of damaging the tacho electrics so i used the old back, left all components in place i took the front replacement from aliexpress and rubbed it on a flat surface with sand paper until there was about 1mm of the internal flange left offered it up to the old original, size was pretty much bang on, held it in place with rubber bands and fixed with super glue, running a bead around it, covered that black tape all in took about 3 hours and the worst bit was getting g the mirrors back on all in all very very pleased
Maybe get one of those carbon fibre surrounds for the clocks to cover up the black tape and neaten it all up. I also stuck a screen protector film on mine just to help stop it happening again
I did mine last year and it all went pretty smoothly, even getting the circuit board out wasn’t too bad but like you say getting the mirrors back on properly is a pig of a job.

Think I paid about 50 quid for mine a couple of years ago https://the-carbon-king.com/product...carbon-dash-surround-plain-gloss-fiber-clock/ not in stock but 40 quid here, maybe they’ll have more coming in soon if you email them?
Just to add my tips, as i've done this on a V2 dash. The case was extra glued, it took quite a bit of prying to get off, probably would have been better to hack saw it off. The V2 dash has 4 screws holding it in. I put the sealant onto the base of the dash before i put the pcb back in, this means you dont have to worry about getting sealant on the dash and i didnt feel the need to put it on the glass side of the case. Pushed it together and wrapped it with electric tape for 24h. Job done.
Had mine replaced under warranty 2 years ago and it’s happened again to the replacement while the bikes been in my garage.
Just replaced my dashboard housing using a £14 item from Ali Express (can't believe how fast it arrived) and found this thread useful. Mine "shattered" after a drop of water on the screen seems to have created a hot spot in sunlight, I've spent an extra £1.50 for a screen protector to hopefully reduce the risk of reoccurring. Before and after: Takeaways: - You can be quite rough with the disassembly, I tried heat to separate without joy so resorted to a hacksaw, there are no electronics close to the join so all good. - The screen is also attached via a ribbon cable to a little movement when prying out the components is acceptable. - Five small screws were T6 on my 959, no issues with stripping. Would say its a quick job, but I've been putting it off for a couple of years so maybe not!
