Hi all I have bought a 1994 Honda cb I believe a cb 1. It’s been renovate and looks lovely. The problem I have is the speedo is damaged and looks like it’s a cheap Chinese copy it has a red lettering on a black background. Is there a decent aftermarket clock set i have been looking at these

Annoyingly these look the same

The red on black looks OEM to me. The black on white is the Chinese knock off.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I wonder if they are the original clocks in a cheap housing the kpm reading is right according to to its mots over the past 10 years. Is the original housing metal?

CB1's I think were only made until about 1992, what you have is more likely to be a CB400 Superfour. A pic of the bike might go a long way to helping.

It does look like the standard bike has a chrome bezel but I've not found many pictures to confirm.

So are the originals cheep thin plastic or chromed metal? It may be the original if it is great.

By the way, a Superfour is a great bike. It looks cool, has an absolutely bulletproof engine and should ride really nicely, be quite comfortable and be a great all round bike. Congratulations sir! Yellow as well, not many of them about. You've done very well indeed.
