what bike does this belong on?

Thanks Ash,  if my rebuild of instruments goes to plan over the next few months, this could be surplus to requirements, it was on a scrap 400f I bought 30 years ago and kept it for spare crimp band.

scifi:
It could be from a CB250, with the yellow segment starting at 9200 rpm.
My CB360T has a red segment starting at 9500 rpm.
and my CB500-foue is white starting at 10,000r pm.
All the segments stop at 11k and all the drives are slanted.

Grewth:
From memory I'd say CB360G, one of its derivatives.
I think that the CB250G5 had a higher red line, maybe 10,200 ?
I can remember having both in the '90's.
250 liked to rev hard, but lacking in torque.
360 had punchy torque but wouldn't rev high

What is that green paint I keep seeing on the back of clocks?  ???

exvalvesetdabbler:
Some attempt at sealing against moisture or galvanic corrosion I think. Mostly see it on those that don't have ventilation holes in the base (spider access holes). Also see the green paint around the rivets that hold the heat shields for the lamps that are riveted. Later versions seem to have the spot welded lamp shields and the vent holes and no green paint.

Some also have a paper gasget between the internal frame and base.

Also have one where the black cover and inner cover is 1.5 mm shorter and different rubber gasgets

Makes mix n match of parts rather tricky.

One of life's mysteries...

Regards
Dave
