Don't try removing the heatsink, cuz if you get it wrong you'll end up with an inch square hole in the top of your speedo :eek:

The heatsink is stuck down to the top section of the speedo. The top of the case is infact a metal plate (about 2mm thick) which sits directly on top of the FET's. It is to allows a better heat flow away from the FET's.

As far as I could tell from watch Jurgen assembling speedo at the Euros, the metal insert is simple pushed into place from the inside. But I know mine came out after a big crash. (luckily that speedo got swapped at the Euro's )
