GS750 clocks
Ray,
its easy to do on GS clocks...plastic ( ie flexible) bodies, and the crimp ring can't be seen on the bike because of the plastic instrument surround.
I just put carpet onto work bench, nail small strip of wood to bench top over the carpet , and then push the ring against the wood strip and work round with small screwdriver unfolding the crimp ring. Then go round with pliers to open it a bit more, and then eventually pull the ring off from the clock ands you're there. When cleaned, push the ring back on, work round again folding the edge over with pliers or a vice ( use cloth to protect the ring and don't overcrip it.)
Hope that helps Loz

Los - Job done, they look great now, the bit of stick and carpet was a great idea

Thanks Will
I have the rolling chassis now done , managed to get 2 NOS snowflake suzuki mags, away to look at the clock mounting- lots of bits of rubber in a poly bag somewhere - I would post some pics but as its not a Z1 the reprisals maybe thick and fast, well its the closest to a z1 that any other manufacturer has built - come to think of it the engine is more z1 than the zephyr - the GS same design, roller bearing crank, inlet and exhaust valves and I think timimg, same bore - short stroke . its much easier to get bits for a Z than and early GS

Did you see the guy at Stafford last year with the black/blue GS750DB, who also built a scale model of it. 
Now he IS a train spotter so of you've any questions to ask, and he's there again this year, then I would think he'd be of some very sound advice.
He sat by his bike ALL weekend too. Funnily enough, he's divorced
