It bugs me that a cheap clear plastic was used on the speedometer and scratches appear easily.

Not sure if you can buff it out easily or not, but it's not too late to stick on a protective layer.

Why are you fondling your display thou...?

I should be able to buff them out but such a inconvenience. I've had to wipe it off using a cloth because I live down a short dirt road

I have noticed this as well. I took a towel and some Windex to wipe it off, and now I have some surface scratches. If they made a tempered glass overlay, I would buy it for sure.

I don't think it's glass but it should do the trick.

Also, this website has some Honda Rebel accessories. The company is in Japan. Shipping, if you don't mind the wait is pretty cheap. You can get around $9 off if you use code 180323N07805. It should cover a significant portion of shipping if you go with the slowest shipping.

Least expensive solution is to use the transparent self-adhesive backing they use to cover such things as notebooks. Make sure it isn‘t too sticky. Use a pencil to trace the outline.

Here’s a question - you think cutting out a smartphone screen protector would be an option?

Sounds like a good idea. Certainly better than paying the extortionate amount after market sellers charge.

Most cell phone and tablet screen protectors are glass, I dont think you could cut any of them sucessfuly. I ordered a film type protector for my bike,about $100 from Amazon. Pricey but worth it , my speedo aready has signs of not liking being naked.
Too bad Honda cheaped out by not making the cover glass

Worth noting that the 2020 model does not have the cut away at the bottom. It is simply a circle.
Trace the outline on a piece of paper. Use a drafting compass with a centre point and a blade to cut out whatever you use e.g. self adhesive clear film and Bob's your Uncle.
