Topic: I can't figure out what these parts are from.

  Finally got organized in the garage so the real fun can begin and I came across these 2 parts. I don't think the came off the same bike because the instrument mounting holes DO NOT line up with the upper tree. There are no part numbers, ANYONE? Thanks.

Not much help but they are not sohc4 parts.

I thought the gauges might be off a smaller honda. I bought some 1970 CB750 parts about a year ago and they must have been in the bottom of the box or something like that.

 They dont look Honda to me.

Triumph,Norton or BSA?

They are from a Japanese bike, probably Honda.  The colors look like Honda gauges.  They are rubber mounted (isolated).  This would lead me to to believe that are from a later model motorcycle.  For me that means late 1970s or early 1980s.

Thanks
That 80 mph speedo and the 9 grand redline tach I'm thinking small bike. Real small

76 or later

with the rubber mounted gar clamps, that tree looks very similar to my KZ750 one (kawi)   ... those gauges are definitely honda tho ..

They are off a late 70's 550, They started looking like that around 77 I believe.

When did the red "55" start showing up on speedos?  That will give you the earliest date possible.  I think the 80 MPH top speed was another attempt by the NHTSA to reduce highway speeds, but I don't remember seeing that on 1970s bikes.

Those gauges are not from a 550, any year. Maybe Honda but not 4 cylinder stuff.

The triple clamp with the bolt hole into the steering stem throws me off. The handlebar clamps with bushings were used on a few models.....SL350?

[rangelov]

Maybe XL250 due to the shock mounted handle bar risers.  I'm just guessing, since the XL250 that I rode was stolen about 1983.  It was like a tractor though, slow but unstoppable with a low rev range and not a lot of speed.

Thanks guys for the help trying to figure out what these are. The real mystery is how the hell the got in my many boxes of parts. I also found some "mystery" foot pegs but they say BSA on them so I think I know what they are.
