CB400 1994 clocks

[Texpis]

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?

[MarJay]

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.

It’s a super four which has chrome bezels around the clocks

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.

Thanks marjay my first big bike I was out on the bike today great fun

[P.]

Worth noting the clocks in these housed the speed limiter too, id probably not touch them. Cuts at 180kmh, not that you'll see it much but thats where many derestrictions happen.

Hi all thanks for all the replies 2 small problems remain any help would be great

The clocks have 3 leds 1 for the kickstand, 1 for oil light one for water temp.


The kickstand light now works

The water temp it looks like the sender is an analogue sensor for a bike with a water temp guage. But I don’t seem to be able to find a water temp switch for the light( not the radiator fan switch) any ideas?

The oil pressure switch I guess should be on when engine not running and go of when the pressure rises but I can’t find the oil p switch is it hidden away somewhere?

[Frog]

Probably won't help very much but just in case... I'm very much not a mechanic, but have a CB400 (roughly 92 as far as I can tell, but not entirely sure as it was imported).

It has the three lights on the clocks, and the only temperature switch I've known on it is a thermostat in the rad. The bike did have some modifications before it got to me - notably I have an on-off switch on the bars for the fan rather than anything automatic which may or may not be original - so can't be 100% there isn't another sensor which was there and now isn't.

Pic is left-hand side of the bike, but thermostat isn't original.
