Default Cracked Speedometer after Wreck...HELP

I learn a little about the laws of gravity this weekend...You cannot ride your 2008 500 H.O. down a mountain side that is a 90 degrees haha...

My dumb *** rolled my Sportsman but it seems the damage was minor. The lens that is over my speedometer cracked and the actual paper insert with the speed on it ripped (all other damage to the bars I was able to fix). The problem is I need a frigging lens and a piece of plastic. But Polaris doesn't sell those separate. They are telling me I have to buy the whole assembly and it is 300 bucks!!!! Can someone tell me where to get these parts. I don't need the brain or mother board, so I cant justify spending 300 bucks for 2 pieces of plastic!!

as far as i know, you can not buy them. you could however have a piece of glass/plexie glass cut for it and try that and then seal it real good to stop moisture coming in.

From what I hear you can't buy them seperate, I would maybe look on ebay for a parted out bike, or a fried speedo

Try Sportwheels in Jordan, MN. They might have what you're looking for.
