Hey,
I just bought (2 months ago) a 1984 Honda cbx650 with what looks like stock dials on the right handlebar. I have showed a number of people including a Honda dealership and noone seems to know what it does.
I have attached a few photos of the thing in question as well as the picture of my bike.

Ex-Police bike?
Yup!
...switch block is for the disco lights and dance music that we all love
Rastuscat or Scumdog should be able to tell you more.
(Aussie import possibly?...looks great by the way)

Does look a little like the switch blocks on my 2000PY St1100. Another feature which could point to it as an ex Police bike is that the speedo might be marked in 2 km/hr increments whereas the standard speedo would probably be marked in 5 km/hr increments.

I'm unsure about te import history, but i have attached an image of the spedo and it does increment in 2km/h!
does this also mean the patrol light and meter stop light on the spedo are also police?
cheers for the input!!

I'd like to know how a rider could read the speedo to a 2k tolerance " you were doing 87 kph exactly sonny"or could the speedo be activated to stay at the highest speed recorded?

"Meter stop" implies the speedo could be locked at a reading to show how far over the limit someone was going.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

I had an 81 CB650 Police bike and it have a very similar Speedo to that, iirc it also had a switch somewhere that l use to freeze the Speedo at the speed l was doing. Cool bike that was, never let me down. Until a can pulled a U'e in front of me

Correct. I had the experience of viewing such a speedo many many years back ............... It started with the statement 'do you know what speed you were doing sir?' .......

Owning such a bike, your lifestyle now has to change accordingly:
At breakfast time, kick the dog, pull wings of a butterfly, and steal a childs lollipop.
At lunchtime, eat all and any food that is free, or sounds like doughnut.
At dinnertime, kick the dog, kick the wife, and crap on the neighbours lawn.
Congrats, you are now a qualified 1980's traffic policeman.
Now go out an write your quota.
