Default Gauge/instrument cluster options?

I've got no stock instruments left, the previous owner just threw everything out when converting the CBR to a naked bike I guess.
I'd like to reinstall a stock Honda instrument cluster, preferably something like that from an early ninetees CBR900RR.
What can I use without lots and lots of mods to my wiring loom?

Fit the original clocks if you can - there are two multiconnectors, the rev counter is electronic and the speedo is cable.
It'll be a pig to fit anything else IMO.
I have a set but what year do you need ? Mine are Mk3's

Hey:

You can use the 94-95 CB1000F stuff works well I will be doing a conv with old CB900F gauge covers and 90 CBR1000F gauges cut up to fit in the CB900F covers soon after I get home this week.

@ Shadow
With my head light, I just have 7 or 8 inches of width for a cluster, so fitting the original stuff won't work.

@ Dub
Thanks

Hey:

If you can find complete with wire harness and speedo sensor or piece together a 97-98 CBR900RR is a great speedo/tach to use on a custom mount. They are very thin, about 1'' thick, very lightweight, and have a good assortement of gauge colours for them that are recalibrated up to 200MPH/300KPH and used to be a good find for a good price, if they still can be found, even seen them in indiglow type. Good luck on your seach. They are awesome on fighters/customs.

Mph is not of much use to me, only country in Europe that doesn't use the metric system is the UK.
Maybe I'll be able to source one of the clusters with a pig tail and a wiring harness... sounds like a nice project for next winter.
