My current 550K3 has got green clocks. I think my 550K3 of years ago had green clocks as well.
CB550K3, CB550K1, Yamaha Midnight Star, and CA77 in 2473 pieces (at the last count)

The green clocks fitted to the F1 had the trip counter above the odometer with the reset at the back didn't they and blue clock fitted to the K3 it was back below the odometer. Incidentally the blue when faded and in poor light can look green to some.
Feel shamed entering the anorak conversation now. Must be too much time indoors!

Kickstart? CB750 A (Automatic, for fat lazy yanks who don't know what a clutch is!)
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

I reckon the kickstart looks a lot like a Superdream one I have in front of me.

These clocks 99% sure off a K3. They are identical to mine. But mine is a 1978K US import. Good value with the centre console. (if they work)
