I have a question on the Honda K0 SL70 speedometer I need help with.
I have an early build SL70 K0 with the style of speedometer that goes to
60 mph and a later build date SL70 K0 with the later style speedometer
that goes to 50 mph and looks like the CT70H model speedometer. I have
seen some people say the CT70 style speedometer is not correct at all for
a K0 and only correct for a K1. I have seen some other people say it was
correct for the later built K0 model most likely.
Any one out there know what is the general consensus is on this ?

I am including pictures of both the speedometers I am talking about.

The k-0 sl70’s did not come with speedometers but there was an add on optional kit from Honda.. the k-1 sl70’s all had speedometers… both of your pics show that there k-0 models with the clamp on head light ears.. the pic on the left with the 60mph and just a high beam indicator is the correct k-0 add on speedo.. the pic on the left has a neutral indicator and a high beam indicator with the 4 speed shift guide so it is most likely for a k-1 sl70 or someone yanked it from a k-1 ct70 H that had the wire for the neutral indicator..the sl70 k-0’s had no wire in the harness for a neutral light… I checked my parts manuals and the ct70 k-1H (4 speed) and the k-1 sl70‘s have the same part number so they should be the same according to the parts books I have.. ? Here’s a pic of a k-0 sl70 that did not get a speedo kit.. just a high beam inductor mounted on a little bracket…
