CB550f speedo face wanted
kent400:
Thanks for looking Ashimoto KO, not seen one like that before but I've seen ones with plastic needles. Bit of a nightmare those!
The original face has been bent back about 45 degrees and cracked into two pieces at the trip aperture. It's also distorted. I can print an overlay on vinyl so even if the lettering on the face is wrong I can resolve that. If I can't find one I'll probable make a face from some plastic sheet I have. It's just cutting the mileage counter apertures that's going to be tricky.

I have a complete set of large 550k3 clocks somplace in the loft of the shed, not sure if they are like what you are after, may have other clocks in the shed too (well, I know there are several sets of unknown origin and more again for bikes I don't own anymore, quite possible that same clocks were fitted to numerous other bikes - I'll take a note of what is on this thread and take a look, if something pops up as likely I'll let you know)

Thanks very much Matthewmosse, so much help on here! And thanks Oddjob for the info.

Well, found most of the clocks in the loft are Seiko - but not yet located the 550k3 ones - if you could let me know dimentions it might help as there are a few smashed clocks from which I can happily rob the faces, there are (should be if I can find them) 2 sets of k3 ones which are complete and fairly good order so breaking them up for a face might well be a bit costly - I might find a not complete set I'm hoping.

If you come across a decent working tacho I would be interested in it. Chrome bottom doesn't matter.
