Is that rev counter face correct? On my one the redline only lasts till about seven and a half then it's good to go. :D

Dont ask me, i'm new here  :D  Its says 1000rpm =3000rpm on the back ? the speedo says 2240r =1m

I needs some chrome backs as well :)
 
Now you mention it i see what you mean about the red line.....not sure the backs are right either, they need to be right or i will never get chrome covers for them. I wonder what they are off then ?
 
Dunno what your gauges are off, but laverda gauges have the red zone marked as a sector from 6500 to 7500 as in the attached photo (even though that's not the right red zone for a triple).

They appear to have the two little screws in the back to attach the backing plate so they look like they'll mount up OK on a Laverda instrument bracket.

There are quite a few bikes that used ND instruments, including Honda, Ducati, Hesketh, Kawasaki, etc. However, nothing comes to mind that had a red line at 7000, so yours are a mystery. Marcel might be able to tell you what they're off and whether they're OK for use on a Laverda. He could probably interpret the numbers on the back too. http://www.cb750faces.com/cb750faces.nl/en/

Don't think so.
From memory the 2 small screws on the back should sit one above the other, not side by side for any Laverda with ND clocks.
Suppose they could be drilled and tapped but the they are tiny.

Yes i contacted Slaters, i will have to save up a bit i think, ?400 a pair ! Keihan  do a really nice set of polished Stainless ones for a Darmah with 38mm Marzocchis for ?40.00 which might be an option.

Ok, now Mr. Slater (and maybe Mr. Wagner) will hate me...  :-X

Riccardo Oro even sells directly his repro 3C headlamp brackets, I bought several from him.
Good quality, better than the original in my opinion.

In Euros, I paid 40 each for the triangle, 40 for the tube, 16,50 for the rubber cushion, 4 each for the tube bottom rings - one in aluminium, one in rubber.

That means 209 Euros for the whole set, left + right.

Ciao

Mr Slater buys some items from Mr Wagner which could explain the price
 
Ducati ND clocks have Ducati on the face and are 4:1, this is 3:1 and i think Laverda are the only ones to use 3:1.
The std chrome backs would not fit these though ?
 
I think Grant is right about the little screws being one above the other rather than side by side on the original clocks. But you might still be able to fit the chrome backs if you drill them for your screw arrangement. I guess you won't know until you try.
 
You also have to get the specific chrome back for that guage. Don't think they are interchangeable. At least they aren't the same on an older and a later speedo I have here.
 
Thanks guys, the only two versions of the chrome back i have seen would not fit these gauges
You can see here how a std clock has a round centre

And mine has an oblong which

Is never going to fit under a round chrome centre  back


I have been in touch with CB750 faces and Jason at manlyauto gauges in Aus and neither have a clue what these would have been fitted too although both agree at 3:1 this must have been a laverda but with a 7k red line in this style ? .
 
The chrome back will fit. Just get a big hammer to bash it into shape  ;)

Perhaps Marcel will trade them for a set of dials that will better suit your purpose.

I'll have a look at my bevel Ducati tomorrow (busy drinking margaritas right now) to see if they're anything like your gauges.

Paddy can you let  me know where you got your indicators from ? ta

Sir Sid, I got my replacement CEV indictors from a UK scooter dealer. Can't remember who, I'll have a look through my receipts and see if I can find out.  I think my replacement horns came from the same site - horns were 6V anf the indicators had 6V globes. Thought my rewiring was rubber ducked till i figured it out.

The rev counter in the pic with the red line starting at 7k were used on jaramas that were destined for the US market, quite a few came back to Europe after they were unsold.
