Good afternoon,
Has anyone any idea what this might be part of? It looks like a smallish Kawasaki triple to me, but I can't work out what.
You can tell by the orientation of the photo that it's off an Australian model of whatever it is....
Thanks, Olly

Does look like Gpz550 speedo, but mounting bracket looks a bit odd.

Hmm, looks like it might belong on some sort of early LTD, it sits in a chrome cup. Could be a 440 or a 550 or something like that, but I can't find a picture online of anything exactly like it.
It came attached to the remains of a z1100a shaft, so it's possible it's not even Kawasaki, though it does look like it.
Thanks for your suggestions.

It looks the same as the one on my Z250, 1982ish model.

Sounds likely. As it sits in a chrome cup I reckon it might be off a z250 ltd.
Probably not likely to be many people out there looking for one in that case.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry but I reckon you are all wrong... It looks very smilar to the Hodna CB400-4 F2
The only slight difference is the kmh markings (i.e. the 140 on the F2).
It's 99.999% certainly Hodna due to the L-shaped mileage cutouts, the plastic housing and colour of the gauge face.
I may be wrong but I doubt it

I've climbed over the lawnmower to find my Z250 clocks... and damn it, Big Fluff is right, it isn't the same!
On the Z250 the blue "km/h" lettering (below the trip display) is above the white "mph" lettering.

I reckon you've cracked it. Nice one.
Thanks to all for your assistance.
