Discovered today my speedo drive is seized up inside the sprocket cover.  I'll attempt a repair but would like to pick up a spare cover with working speedo drive if anyone has one lying around.  Willing to pay for overseas shipping as I'm in the States and I know lots of CB-1's are in England.

Eric

ps  Discovered a used cover on Ebay U.K. but waiting to hear if the speedo drive is still functional or not.  Still interested in any others out there.

On a related note, does anyone know if the plastic (lighter) cover from the nc29 would be compatible? If it were, I wondered if you might be able to fit the digi speedo sensor from a '95ish fireblade, thus giving a nice neat way to convert to digital clocks.

I have a good one Eric. £20 GBP + post at cost. You're right - a lot of used ones are seized, made that mistake myself Angry

I converted my YPVS to run R1 digital clocks, have to admit I had a good "how to"  from someone that had done it already mind. Does the Fireblade sensor run off the sprocket or the shaft? Also, does the blade have a sub-loom for the clocks?

How to:-

Thanks Drew for the offer, I appreciate it very much.  But, I don't think I need a cover now as I've managed to repair my speedo drive.  It was jammed (which stripped the plastic widget) but a bit of wiggling with some pliers got it turning again, although not very smooth.  I drilled 2 very small holes in the housing that holds the drive mechanism, on the inside of the cover and injected grease into the void around the gears.  Speedo drive is now very free and very smooth as well.  I'll seal the small holes with some epoxy and now that there is grease in there I probably won't have any more problems.
