1978 CB550 K3 "running" restoration
SPR:
Looking further in to the tacho fitted - it definitely doesn't look original to the bike - but older
Also it has the ND on the bottom whereas the speedo has the Nippon Seiki Japan
The number on the back isn't fully legible but again doesn't resemble the part number for the year

Further confusion is that the ones I've seen supposedly correct for the year have slightly different red line markings

Thanks for the info !!
The one in the box is up for £238 which may be a little rich for me - but then again I suspect having a suitable one restored isn’t going to be cheap

I was pretty sure I had some second hand tachos lying around, found a decent speedo but no tachos as yet.
I'd be willing to part with the NOS one for what I paid for it, £175, I can then get my old one restored by Kent, I thought Kent was in South Africa BTW, wasn't there someone in the UK doing them? Last time I sent a package to SA it went missing for months.
If you need pics let me know.
