They look like CB500/CB550 gauges not cb750  They look too small so maybe cb500

From the Crinkled Faces, could they possibly be from a Goldwing?????
I've seen that Crinkling on a couple of early Goldwings (75, 76 vintage).

What diameter are they?

Only the CB 750 F2 had the red zone at 9500 rpms.

The Goldwing had a temperature gauge built into the tachometer. So most likely Honda CB 550 Four  (red zone at 9500 rpms).

Very interesting.  9300 vs 9500.  I'll have to dig up some of mine gauges.

Might be cb450 units. Dummy lights may have mounted in those middle holes.

I don't remember where the various redlines were, but looks very similar to any number of Honda twins also...i.e. cb360, cb500t, certain later years 450...most earlier bikes had indicator lights in the gauge I think?

My 550 goes 9300, your gauges go 9500 so some differences there and would not conclude that your gauges are 500/550.  ;)

73+ CB450 gauges I think, the earlier ones do have the idiot lights on the faces. This listings has all the pix, more than enough confirmation and a good price guide too ;)

You can list them for 130 but doesn't mean anyone will be buying them. Notice price reduction from 190.

You can list them for 130 but no one in their right mind will buy them.
