1977 Honda CB550K · Tachometer & Speedometer Buying guide
Stock-style speedometers provide different units and face markings. The featured all-black tachometer is a mechanical 7:1 custom gauge with separate bracket requirements, so its size and mounting need their own comparison.

The stock-style MPH instrument has a 0–120 MPH face; the KPH option has a 0–240 KPH face. Their drive specifications are stated separately in the listings. Compare the photographed markings and gauge arrangement rather than assuming either face is an exact reproduction of your original 1977 instrument.
The featured all-black mini tachometer is listed as mechanical 7:1 and needs a separately purchased bracket despite its included V-plate. Another mini listing states a 4:1 ratio for stock CB750 applications. Do not choose a different ratio merely because the listing names your model; confirm the actual drive before ordering.
The lower plates are individually sold aftermarket housing parts. They are not complete instruments. Compare the existing speedometer or tachometer housing and the plate’s replacement reference before selecting trim for a gauge you plan to retain.
The MPH and KPH descriptions both state back illumination. Compare their units, face design and stated drive specification separately, then check the existing mounting and connection arrangement before deciding which instrument suits your planned cluster.
Check the actual mechanical drive ratio first. The custom listings include different ratios, and the 4:1 description specifically names stock CB750 drives. A broad model listing alone does not establish the required ratio or bracket arrangement on your CB550K.
