1974 Honda CB550K · Tach & speedo Buying guide
The featured choices cover a stock-style MPH speedometer, a custom 7:1 tachometer and a meter cushion. Their functions differ: a cushion does not replace a gauge, and a custom instrument needs its mounting and connections checked separately.
Stock-style MPH speedometerThe description lists CB550K 1974–78, a 0–120 MPH face and 60 MPH = 2240 RPM drive specification. It cautions that face designs vary by year.View part

The selected deluxe tachometer explicitly describes a 7:1 mechanical drive for the CB550 family. Another mini tachometer is advertised with a 4:1 CB750 drive. Those statements do not make the units interchangeable. Match the drive specification and mounting arrangement before choosing a custom tachometer.
Glass, cushions, internal seals and crimp rings address different parts of an instrument. The ring listing specifically names Nippon Seiki gauges, while the internal seal has its own compatibility wording. Identify the instrument and compare each part independently instead of assuming these separate listings form one universal rebuilding kit.
The speedometer description warns that face plates changed slightly from year to year. Its CB550K application supports considering the unit, but exact artwork remains a separate check. Compare the pictured face with the instrument you want to retain.
The chosen custom tachometer includes a V-plate, while its description requires a mounting bracket separately. Check the proposed location, mechanical cable connection and illumination wiring before treating the gauge purchase as a complete installation package.
No. The cushion description identifies reference 37235-323-700 and says one is used for each instrument. The internal seal is a separate product. Compare their locations and functions with the existing assembly rather than using either name as a substitute for the other.
