Late model NTV top yoke (polished) fitted, along with the higher NT650V Deauville bars and a new set of clocks. I got the Revere clocks into position with some stainless brackets but frankly they looked a bit pants with the shiny top yoke. Much happier with this result. Higher bars on the Revere = fitting Deauville throttle cables, clutch cable and extending all wiring by 6 inches... bit of a nightmare but hopefully worth it. Forks now back on the bike and re-assembly underway. So although it still looks like something out of Short Circuit, I'm hopefully on the final stretch now.....

where are the instrument housings from? They're actually CB600 Hornet clocks and housings from a later model. Had to swap the rev counter over to have the temp gauge instead of the fuel gauge. But the mounting brackets are the same as the NTV so with a bit of encouragement they fit fine....

It looks good Just a note: you do realize the clocks are in Km/h ... right? (just thought I'd warn you before you are chugging along at 60 Km/h instead of the allowed 60 Miles/h

You could also find that the speedometer has a deviation, depending on the size of the front wheel of the CB600 Hornet and the gear used in that bike. Not that it's a big problem, because I noticed that the speedometer on my NTV has a rather big deviation. There's an EC-Directive which states the max deviation of a speedometer for the EU-approval of a bike. The requirements are: 1. The speed indicated on the speedometer must never be lower than the actual speed of the bike. 2. The indicated speed on the speedometer must not be higher than (110% of the actual speed + 4 km/h). My NTV doesn't comply to requirement no.2, but that because my bike is older than the EC-Directive ;D The requirements for a speedometer on an already registered motorbike over here are: (1) is must have a functioning speedometer (which means the needle must move if the bike is moving ) and (2) it must be readable at night. Sorry, but I can't tell you what the requirements in the UK are. GvS

All good point, thanks. I think what I'll do is swap the speedo - I already swapped the rev counter and the wiring to have the temp gauge and remove the fuel sensor. I think I will put my old speedo in - it looks like it will be a relatively simple swap like the rev counter..... then all the mileage stays correct too...
