Default Antique/Vintage style speedo on a modern bike?

Crossbones owner here. I don't know about you guys but I would love to see an antique/vintage style speedo on my bike. Like plain white with black needle. I've searched around on the web and forums and don't see much out there. Thought there would be more options for gauge faces and replacement needles. Anyone seen options?

Something less Rat Fink-esque Where did you have that made? I was thinking more like this, but with cutouts for digital mileage and other indicators.

I did find this. Looks like the guy can make anything. Will give it a shot.

I'd be interested in replacing the face on mine. Wonder if just the faces are available?
