OK, final question, what was the purpose of the machined flats that were seemingly not required?

Bryanj:
On the first CB 750 the speedo drive had two turned down flaps that engaged with the slots to turn the drive gearbox and the chrome trim was flat, aparently the speedo needle wandered due to not positive enough drive so honda modified it and i guess just did not get arround to altering the hub drawings till years later

DomP:
Thanks Bryan!
