Let's hope someone on the forum can offer help. ............lm

Ed I thought I read that somewhere myself, but the guy said I would have to find one and ship it along with the unit. Google search shows them available for the CB but I couldn't find anything for the CL, so maybe that's the case with the Speedo Shop as well?

I ordered one off ebay. Great quality.

The folks at cb750kfour.com have a CL speedometer face decal, but it does not have the NIPPON SEIKI logo (copyright issues?). Regards, Chase

That is not on the face. It is on the black metal plate next to the glass. I have one that says Honda on it which I guess is from a early model maybe a 250.

Right you are! I forgot about the separate insert. Thanks, Chase

Thought I'd show the progress I made today. Got the engine into the frame and the front forks on. Starting to get really fun now. Tomorrow I think I'll tear into the speedometer, get it lubed up and install the new dial face sticker I got from RJ Cycle. I had planned to have The Speedo Shop do it, but RJ was kind enough to send instructions complete with tips. It doesn't sound like too tough of a job so I think I'll give it a try and save the 125.00.
