Taking the bezel off inevitably involves breaking the fine base edge of the bezel, and without this edge the speedo would sit too far into the instrument/warning lights holder. You could clean of all the broken edge, glue the bezel back on and replace the section which has been removed with a thin collar. So personally I would send your broken speedo off to some professional who probably have replacement bezel/lenses. Bitza.

I have a small crack in my tacho lense. A year or two back I wrote and got a quote from someone to change it out, and was surprised by the cost. I figured it would be a relatively straight forward job for someone in the trade. So I wrote back a little miffed and questioned it. I then received a step by step account of all the work as per your post.
My tacho still has a small crack and the £280 estimated cost plus VAT has been spent on other bits for the bike...
