Thank you! I used a long razorblade knife heated red hot with a torch to gently cut mine open. Be careful to cut shallow you can go too far into the white bracket for the electronics. I was stumped on how to remove the electronics from the case but now I see the location of the 4 screws. Thanks for that tip! Only thing left is deciding what glue I want to use. 😊
My '17 has a small crack in the lens, hasn't spread further in 4 years but I might take the leap and try the 790 case replacement. Ideally there'd be some way to replicate the rubber bushing/screw mounts that sit on the bottom of the 1290's case. They look to be some sort of vibration isolation scheme that lets the instrument cluster float in the mount instead of being directly screwed into the handlebar instrument frame. The bottom of the bushing appears to be screwed or fastened to the bottom of the gauge housing with the other side of the bushing holding a threaded collar nut. There's no solid through structure so the whole bushing can can then twist from top to bottom helping to isolate vibration. Does anyone have idea on how to make a similar set up? It appears to be permanently affixed to the bottom of the gauge.

How did you separate the case? How to pry it?
Thanks for the video any particular glue you ended up using?
