Speedometer differences

Post by Rickytic » Thu Jul 12, 2012 3:02 pm

I have two speedometers for a 1966 CL77. The orginial one that came on the bike has the words NIPPON SEIKI on the face plate. The spare is shaped and looks exactly like the one on the bike with the exception of the words HONDS MOTOR Co. on the face plate. What is the difference between the two?

The NS is a newer issue than the HM.
Does the HM have a high beam light?. ......lm

It does have a high beam, and it does not appear that it has ever been opened.

It is considered to be the second issue.
The other came along sometime in 1963. ..............lm

Ed, is either considered correct for my 66 sold in 65 cl77? The NS speedo has a broken spring, and I replaced the NS with the HM one until I can get the NS fixed.

Your bike was issued with a NS speedo. .............lm
