So my speedo is busted on my 1979 CB650 that I am working on, but I'd rather not by a $300 NOS part, so I'm looking on eBay. My question is, as long as it's cable operated, wouldn't one from a CB750 work on a CB650? I mean, it seem to me that the gear that determines how to move the needle would be the important part, which is part of the speedo.
Anyways, one I am looking at is from a 1977 CB750A Hondamatic. Would that work with my bike? What determines whether or not one particular speed/tach will work, aside from it being a cable operated one, and that it uses the same cable?
