CB750f Instrument dial overlays

[kent400]

I wonder if any forum members have purchased any, who supplied them and what they thought about their quality. I'm aware there are about 4 suppliers, one in UK, two in the U.S and one in Canada. I'm not a CB750f owner, just a humble 400f one! I have dial face overlays for those and have mastered the tricky task of removing and refitting the band. A 750f owner has asked me to do the same job on his instruments. I would normally pass on anything other than 400f ones but it seems I can't get out of it! Still having made the tools to do the job, just a larger version of the 400f ones I had better get on with it.

It seems there are so many differant dial faces fitted to the CB750f that getting some made isn't an option. The 400f has only one type of tacho and two types of speedometer dials so that's easy.

Not really aware of differences in CB750F instrument faces, the F1 instruments differ from the F2 but as far as I am aware that is it. Should have some pics somewhere of F1 dials and if my failing memory is correct Steve D was putting together a photo album of Honda instrument faces.

Indeed.

There is a collection of them on the US site. I collected as many photos from the different models as people were willing to send me.

Thanks for the link, a great help. It seems for the most part the internal mechanism are all the same, well there's one type of speedo that has the trip reset at the back that can't be the same internally. Then there's those with the plastic bodies.

My 550F1 had the trip reset at the back of the speedo, but my 550F2 had it at the side, which was the same as my 750F2. They are all so similar that if 750 faces were being considered it would be an ideal suggestion for 550 owners as well.

Hi Guys, I supply since November dial faces for the early CB750, K0, K1 and K2. See my website or ebay

These faces are real faces, printed with silk screen printing technology on 2mm thick plastic. So NO self adhesive stickers.
I used original NOS gauges to determine the right design and colours.
