Can anyone identify this, not even sure if its a honda? Kent 400 i hope you know!
-
Is it from the original Honda Goldwing GL1000?
-
It came with my old goldwing but looked different to the one fitted, also the red line seems high for a wing
-
As you say the red line is too high for a Goldwing. It certainly looks like a Seiki one but they never put their usual lettering around the bottom edge on those tachometer I suppose there wasn't room for that with the temperature gauge right on the bottom edge. It's probably post 1980 as it has a plastic needle.
I'm thinking it might be CX500 but that's really just a wild guess.
-
Some of the American CB900 custom type bikes use that sort of layout with same needle and 9500 rpm red line, which as Kent says are 1980s.
Can't find one with temp guage integrated though, could it be for oil temp as they did one with a weird 10 speed hi/lo range gearbox fitted?
-
Definitely CX500 Custom, Kent400 was closer than me :)

ha that looks like the fellow, anyone got a use for it?

Not too many of those CX customs about but the body if undamaged is the same size as other larger Seiki gauges so the body could be swapped with a damaged one. Drill a hole for the trip shaft and it could also be used for a speedo. ND and Seiki bodies are not the same size might look the same but they are not interchangeable. Marcel has new bodies for these Seiki ones and the ND ones. Fitted a few of these and they are perfect. The ND bodies he supplies are are made of a higher gauge steel, no bad thing as the original are quite thin and frequently damaged.
