Please see photos attached , I thought this was a cb 500 rev counter so if anyone knows what this is by the dimensions please let me know.

The Speedo is definitely a cb 400 so you can see the difference in size.

Sorry didnt say it right, sat in hospital wating for my wife who had her tonsils out today!

The Tacho is a 550 one, possibly a US 500K2 but i think colour is wrong for 500.

The 400 speedo is same size as UK 500K1

Ok thanks, hope your wife recovers quickly, isn’t it copious amounts of ice cream for tonsils!

Neil, try asking Peter who does most of the refurbs for members on here. He has loads of spares so I would think he has one somewhere.

Word of warning. The cb550f2 had 2 different types of clocks fitted. One made by Nippon Seiki and the other by Nippon Denso, they look almost identical but they are slightly different in sizes. Parts from one won’t fit the other for instance. So make sure you find another clock of the same make or they’ll look odd afterwards. I prefer Nippon Seiki myself, they just look better for some reason.

I have the Nippon Seiki. What is Peter's username?

Thanks BTW

Yeah that’s right Ted. His name is Peter Horton. Nice bloke, excellent results. Done quite a few members clocks, haven’t heard any bad words about his work. Just reminded me I have a f2 tacho to get him to reseal after doing some mods to the inside. I installed a small digital volt meter inside one of mine.
