Confused about mini speedo ratios

I know the Honda speedometer ratio is 2240:60. I keep seeing a bunch of the mini speedometers with indicators (that's the rub...I'm looking for one that has the oil, neutral and high beam indicator) and the ad will say it's a 2240:60 ratio but the pics clearly show 2:1 stickers on them.

Here's a link to one that Dime City has, but they're all over eBay with the same (misleading?) description.

Ebay example:

Will a 2:1 ratio speedometer work with the Honda speedo drive? I thought "NO", but there sure are a lot of people selling them.
 
2:1 is for Harleys. It's likely that the pic is just a stock photo. Best bet is to ask the seller.
 
Yeah, I'm running a 2:1 on my CB450 and when it indicates 65-70MPH, I'm only going 55-60MPH
