Is the CB1100 no more?

[GoldOxide_imp]

As far as I know there is no requirement for that. It could be just easier to do as some bikes go it Canada, etc.

Now I have to go look at my car speedo...

Ok, Google is my friend. Has to be one or the other or both: https://www.federalregister.gov/document...er-display

Good Link find...thanks! But if I may, a correction:

From the bottom of the section labeled "SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:"

"Therefore, today's technical amendment changes the language of the Speedometer display required by FMVSS 101 to “MPH, or MPH and km/h”. I added bold emphasis.

The above was a response to Ford which had previously:

recommended that “MPH km/h” be changed to “MPH and/or km/h”

For sure in the U.S. mph is the dominant scale, km/h the secondary and/or optional scale. Some states are very strict about this and make bikes [imported] from Canada reverse the speedometer scales, if permanently printed on dial gauges.

In Canada it is the reverse (dominant km/h, secondary mph), but I don't think it is enforced. My Aprilia had mph dominant scale, km/h secondary.

Also keep in mind, there are many counties in the U.S. that post speed limits in km/h. So that may have some other effect on supplying secondary km/h scales.

Nevertheless, with many modern vehicles using digital and "smart" displays, the issue is becoming largely moot.

Except when it comes to motorcycle manufacturers trying to make a retro looking bike?

; )

It would not surprise me that some riders hack some applets together that will emulate any "steam dial" you wish on the modern motorcycle TFT LCD colour instrument cluster displays. In fact, one could change style daily - if desired.

For example:

Some early 1920s dial, yellowish, "cracked", one "bulb" burnt out, and a tarnished back face displaying engine RPM with a half broken "needle".

Maybe a '57 Ford Thunderbird cluster emulated on your dash?

Maybe an "alien" cluster fashioned on your dash?

Maybe a '13 CB1100 cluster fashioned on your '17 CB1100 dash?
