CB400F2 speedometer face plate
« on: May 20, 2024, 10:26:24 PM »
Does the UK CB400F2 have a speedometer have both MPH and KPH on it?

That would be the F model as opposed to the F2?

What's an "F2" as opposed to an "F" in terms of what years constituted various "F" models

Yes
Ash, I'm not sure if you are answering the answer before or the thread question.
I'm coming across images of F2s with both options, what to think? Is it really a worry that the face plates I bought for my F2 some years ago have MPH only, which is what I have now, but I've rooted out a number of home made and ill fitting parts on this bike!
