Quick technical question

[Seamus]

When did Honda introduce the green faced instruments? My K1 has the dark face and I believe K2's did as well. Was it only the F series that had them?

That's the thread I started to try and get an answer to a similar question.  Quite a good response.

Thanks for the link. I could not find that one on the US site, although I recall seeing some pictures of gauges in a restoration area.

I now know what I am looking for.

The green glow is lovely at dusk.......

My mate has got an F2 & his are black faced & I would'nt swap

The UK K6 have a green back ground, all the others K0 to K5 have a dark blue back ground. Later models K4 onwards have speedometer at 10mph increments

I'm sure that my F2 clocks were a dark green...but then it has been a few years now.

CMS Have no F2 speedo's in stock, but their Site has a picture of the face of the F2 clock....& it's black....like my pals......pheww......it's bl**dy hot today with this anorak on.......

He tells me it's so his "clocks" can indicate the fact that his bike goes faster but I don't care

If his clocks were tuned like that they would be red-----or why bother to paint fire engines red

[SteveD CB500K0]

Red is the fastest colour (sorry, this is a bit of an in-joke on the Sprint site...)

I've had a quick search through my Honda 750F2 photos & the clocks are definitely dark green...

[Sprunghub]

Yer, but, it's hardly standard is it 

I reckon someone was just beguiled by the eerie 'glow'

[F2 Paul 876]

My F2 has Green clocks this was taken a few days ago.

[Sprunghub]

Ok....but in the 'green' stakes.....surely, there is green & then there is



green un-enhanced in the back of the dark garage..... bask in the glow....are they fluo  .....pity about the faded red but it all adds to the originality 

They are different though - not better, nor worse, but different.  No KMH's on my faces....I wonder if different markets had different clocks ? There were a lot of different market versions of F1's & F2's.
