Correct instrument colours/faces

[landisr]

FWIW, Back to the original question regarding gage face colors, I am very fortunate to be the proud owner of 3 Gold Wings, 2 of which are 1976 GL1000s. As you can see from my avatar, my 'standard' Wing has green faces. However, my LTD has black faces (see attached).

Not sure this is any help, but....

Thanks SnoBrdr ... but I did say "... in the UK ..." because we have had a 70mph limit for years ...

The eBay listing address is :- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-GL1000 ... Sw7UZbNlRT

It is the second picture from the left that shows the red mark.

I have to amend my comment.

Pistol Pete of Pistol Pete's carb rebuilders just completed a restoration of GL serial # GL1-1000002.

That bike clearly has the red mark at 70 MPH.

[Goldwing7777]

I think we need to know if Pistol Pete bought and fitted new faces - and chose the one with the red mark?

[I have not sorted mine yet - fairly low priority.]

My understanding is that the bike was brought back to 100% original condition.

PP also redoes gauge faces.

A friend of mine has an original 1975 CB750K2. This DOES have the red 70mph mark. Same clocks as the early 'wings, so makes sense that 'some did and some didn't' I guess.

" some did and some didn't "

Well I'll decide which a little later! Thank you all.
