Restored to match. 🔧

This Honda CB750K1 speedometer came in for a complete rebuild, with a specific goal: to match the patina of a Norwegian customer’s NOS tachometer as closely as possible.

That takes custom work. I made a new reproduction dial in my own workshop, carefully matching the colour and printing to complement the original tachometer.

Inside, I found some familiar problems with these instruments: rust and a worn mechanism. Looking right is only part of the job, so the internals needed just as much attention.

The result? A fully rebuilt speedometer that looks at home beside its NOS companion, with the character of a classic instrument.

CBX1000 gauges, back to life! 🔥

Faded markings, tired internals and brittle needles… time for some care in the workshop.

This set of three individual Honda CBX1000 instruments has been serviced and restored, bringing back those unmistakable bright orange details. The close up shows just how fragile the original needles can become after decades of ageing.

Watch the transformation from before to after! 👀

CB750K1 MPH gauges, back to life! 🏍️✨

Original patina or a fresh factory look? Every owner has their own preference, and both have their charm.

For this set, the aim was a fresh finish paired with a thorough internal service. Inside the tachometer, metal fatigue had caused the light deflector to break off. There was more to this restoration than meets the eye!

Now restored and ready for the road, this pair is heading back to its owner in the USA tomorrow! 🇺🇸📦

Details make the difference.

Years of wear have left this original Honda CB750K1 speedometer dial with a cracked finish and yellowed markings. Beside it is my premium reproduction, with crisp white lettering and careful attention to the original design.

A closer look at the details that go into my restorations at Classic Bike Meters.

These dial faces are used exclusively in my own restoration work and are not sold separately.

From rust to factory new! 🔧✨

This Honda CBX1000Z instrument cluster arrived weathered and missing its trip reset k**b. But the worst damage was hidden inside the voltmeter.

Its original glass had been replaced with an undersized piece of flat window glass. This allowed moisture to seep in from above, causing severe internal corrosion. Part of a threaded mounting stud had broken off, too.

Fortunately, I was able to repair the damage and restore the entire cluster to factory new condition, with the correct glass, fresh dial faces, bright orange pointers and a replacement trip reset k**b.

Watch the reel to see the full transformation! 🏍️

This Honda CBX1000 Prolink instrument set came in for a service of both the speedometer and tachometer.

The tachometer was still untouched, so I could simply give it a proper service and calibration.

The speedometer was a different story…
It had already been opened and “serviced” before. Unfortunately, there were several problems:

🔧 Hammer marks on the housing
🔧 Damage around the drive
🔧 Several issues inside that needed correcting

After repairing these problems, the speedometer was properly serviced and calibrated again.

Both instruments are now serviced, calibrated and ready to ride! 👌

💡 One important tip about instrument bulbs:

Don’t use just any aftermarket bulb because it fits the socket.

Some are too long or become too hot, which can damage the plastic housing, dial or other parts inside your instruments.

For this reason, I recommend using the correct Stanley 12V 3.4W bulbs. These are also available as a set in my webshop.

Sometimes a small part can cause a lot of damage!

Another Yamaha RD400E speedometer brought back to life. 🔧

This gauge had been opened before, but unfortunately no actual maintenance had been carried out. After opening it again, the lack of previous servicing was clearly visible, and a defective sensor was also found.

This time it received the attention it needed: thoroughly cleaned, serviced, properly lubricated, repaired and calibrated, while preserving its original character.

Now it’s ready for many more miles. 🏍️

Opened before. Serviced properly this time.

Two CBX1000 speedometers, sent to me by a well-known CBX restorer. Two very different stories.

The first is a genuine NOS unit. After decades on the shelf, it was opened, properly lubricated, calibrated and set to the correct mileage of the motorcycle.

The second had already been “restored” elsewhere. It looked good from the outside, but inside I found a mechanism that hadn’t been properly lubricated and a loose drive.

A perfect example of why a proper restoration is about much more than appearance.

Both are now properly serviced, calibrated and ready to return to their CBXs.
