Hi. When I bought my Cb500/4 it had a 350/4 tacho fitted and this mystery speedo. Can anyone help me work out what it's for? It's in vgc and it would help me to advertise it correctly.

Given the way they used to hype up these things, it's probably off an SS50!
About the same time the Yanks were putting 85mph speedos on CBXs.
-
I don't think you're far off! I'm thinking maybe a 125. Even the 175s seem to go to 110!
-
It is from a CB250 early type. The later ones went up to 110MPH.
-
Not sure cb200,250,350?Yes in good nick too.Scrap that didnt they have the warning lights in those?

It is a strange clock Bitsa because most small bikes never had the trip counter. There is another clock like this on fleabay but, they have it listed as CB250N / 400N which is wrong.
-
Trig didnt those have a big plastic cluster round them and brown face?This one does look like it would fit on both mine k2 k6
Cheers

Too small for a 750. yes, the superdream had plastic cluster but, blue/green face.
-
Yes Trig didnt the 500t have a brown face to match the seat if I recall right

Yep, your wright on that one. The 500T's i have done i always change the face's to black.

Many thanks. I have also now heard probably CB250G5/CB250K4/possibly early CB250N
Thanks all that seems to tie in regards

Email Billy on here he has a G5 that he has just restored maybe he can confirm this for you
Cheers

Not G5 bitsa. i have a G5 and it is 110mph. I have the same clock as in the picture but, i got it from Ash to use for spares.
-
Trig
Email Ash to see if he can remember what it came off.Cant see a G5 reaching a 110mph though
Cheers

Ash has so many clocks and can't remember. CB175 has 110mph but, it will never do that ;)
-
Tops 80mph down hill with a fat barsteward on it ;D ;D

I think it's a CJ250 speedo, the kilometre scale on the face in green puts it post 1977. Will will work OK on the CB350F and 400F as they share the same front wheel size.
-
Many thanks Kent400

PS I now have enough info on this thanks.
It is certainly CJ250 as I have seen several identical on EBay, both in mph and kph. It was also used probably for the CB250G and will also suit the CB350F and 400F, although it's 100 top end would be a bit light for these last two.
Have a great Christmas.
