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.

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.

Chromed Metal? On a 90s Japanese bike? No chance. I'm sure it'll be plastic.

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.
