Johnie….. They look great! I sent my cb750 K1 speedo and tach to a gentleman in England and still waiting. He has been in touch and they look great. Can’t wait to see them back here.

John I was a bit hesitant to send mine out of the USA. I wanted a little bit more security knowing they were not far away. Easy to contact Joel and he kept me informed on the progress. Good luck with your K1 clocks. Post pics when you get them.

Will do. I told him “no rush” because they are a spare set and there’s nothing wrong with the ones on the bike. Just faded.

Gotta love the early GW's, very under rated then and now. It's a keeper.

I ride my buddy Gary’s ‘75 once or twice a year. If you let them rev up they go too!

Glad it worked out for you, Johnie.  I did recommend him but didn't have any personal experience, the guy in FL I have used doesn't work on Hondas.
