1978 Honda CB400TII Hawk II Instruments & Speedometer Cable

The 1978 Hawk II originally has both a speedometer and a tachometer. Decide whether you are restoring a cable-driven instrument or building a custom cockpit before ordering. Replacement cable length, gauge calibration, mounting space and lighting connections are separate checks.

1978 Honda CB400TII Hawk II · Instruments & Cable Buying guide

Keep the original drives and custom gauges straight

A replacement speedometer cable and a custom gauge are different solutions. Check the existing instrument first, then compare the drive connection, calibration and mounting arrangement of any gauge you intend to fit.

Start with the current fault or change

For an original-looking repair, inspect the mechanical speedometer cable and its routing before deciding the gauge must be replaced. The featured black cable is 38.5 inches end to end. Check its path and end fittings against the fitted instrument and front wheel, especially on a modified bike.

Budget mounting work for a custom cockpit

The 85 mm speedometer needs custom mounting, while the 2.25-inch mini tachometer includes a V-plate and requires a separate bracket. Match the speedometer calibration and the tachometer’s 7:1 mechanical specification to the drive being used. Plan lighting connections without assuming a plug-in Honda harness fit.

Common buying questions

Did the Hawk II originally have a tachometer?

Yes. Honda identifies a speedometer and tachometer on the 1978 Hawk II. The mini tachometer offered here is a custom replacement option with different mounting requirements from the original instrument.

Will the custom gauges fit the original mounting bracket?

Custom mounting must be planned. The 85 mm speedometers have their own mounting dimensions, and the mini tachometer needs a bracket beyond its included V-plate; do not assume the original cluster accepts either.

Is the listed cable for the tachometer or speedometer?

The featured 38.5-inch cable is a speedometer cable. Match its fittings and routing to the speedometer system; the presence of an original tachometer does not make the two cable applications interchangeable.
