CB 500 k2 1973 and CB 750 1974 speedo and tech interchangeable
« on: November 16, 2020, 04:09:52 AM »
Just wondering if the CB 500 K2 1973 and the CB 750 1974 are interchangeable. I can get a nice 750 set cheap near me my TH 500 one the trip reset is broken.
Thanks
Gary

 Speedo yes, tach no. The 750 (and the 650) uses a different tach drive ratio.

Picked up the tech and Speedo a few days ago but when I got home and compared them to mine t 750 ones are bigger dang! They were in good condition too. They will go in the for sale section for what I bought them for $40 plus shipping.

That is not from a '74 CB750... Maybe someone put it onto one, but it is not correct original. It looks more like a '80s model cluster.
