1979 Honda CB650 · Instrument Cushions & Covers Buying guide
The meter cushion supports an instrument position. Genuine Honda lower covers restore the speedometer or tachometer housing’s underside; they do not replace the gauge or its internal mechanism.

Two cushion positions are specified per motorcycle, one for the speedometer and one for the tachometer. Check which pieces are worn and compare the mounting arrangement before ordering. Inspect the surrounding supports while deciding which individual cushions the repair needs.
Both featured chrome covers are sold as genuine Honda parts for their stated applications. Their speedometer and tachometer references differ. Compare the old housing and cover profile, especially if the instrument cluster has been changed.
The genuine Honda covers are supplied individually without meter cushions, bulbs, wiring or mounting hardware. Cushion 73-0096 is a separate individual part; the original gauge pair uses two. Inspect the support rubber as well as the visible chrome before choosing the repair.
First inspect the cushion for hardening, splits or compression, and check the brackets, sleeves, washers and fasteners. The rubber isolates vibration; do not crush it solid to take up movement. A new chrome cover does not restore a worn cushion.
Compare the actual instrument housing, lower-cover shape and attachment with the correct speedometer or tachometer reference. The listed CB650 application does not establish trim compatibility with replacement or custom gauges.
