at this stage I am going with the cb750fa dash and a honda 400 speedo drive of the front sprocket . Hopefully the ratio may be close. My next trick is to find a 6inch headlight, I think the cb 7inch will look a bit big
I missed that ratio chart the first time but good info thanks. interesting that some Hondas of the era had 7"1 even those wheel driven . I think the sprocket drive (7:1) is the best for packaging and If I need to get the ratio correct in the future.(as long as I get a cert/wof it may not worry me) I may be able to transplant a 7;1 speedo in to the 750fa(4;1) dash
Ian I've got a CB900 Top gasket set if you want it. Can pick it up if you are over this way or I could drop it off this weekend if it suits. Just PM me your address details and suitable time.
personally i would just redo the instrument display sticker .
you can actually leave the drive as is and make a sticker. Or as you say just use a drive of that ratio as they are fairly generic i have done that with tachos before MB5 tacho in XL100s housing.
the VF etc had tachos with different electrical configs you can alter built in.
Another thing is the cbr ratio might be 7:1 but its before an approx 3:1 rato secondary drive for the chain
so it might disply the same as at 4:1 ratio wheel driven speedo anyway
Like this one.

As long as the thread is currently about speedos, anyone know of a speedo cable outer about 1.0 - 1.1 metres long and which would fit Suzuki speedo drive and speedo (specifically 1982 GS models)? The current cable is 950mm and needs a little extra length to clear the different calipers now installed.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
