Default speedo??

Hi guys, new here and hope you can help, I have picked up a 93 model cbr600f, in many bits and I mean many bits, for some reason the last owner took it apart and left it in his garden.
It's all going well so far, new forks seals, headstock bearings, bleed brakes, wheel bearings, and weld up exhaust.
The one bit I don't understand is the speedo drive, I have the cable but there is no drive wheel or gearbox I can find.? Now I think it may have the later model wheels fitted, as the discs fit onto a 6 bolt small flange, when looking on the net, this model should have a large flange wide pattern. and a speedo drive from the hub. could someone confirm this for me. If so, there is no real answer other to change the wheels?
Thanks

Im not sure about the f2, but I assume they are the same. There should be a round speedo box on the left side of the front wheel. Sitting on the outside on the hub. Right by the left caliper. So id check by the caliper.

I've looked all over the front wheel, there is no speedo drive, just two spacers. unless it's missing? but then would the wheel fit right which it seems to fit correct, just fitted new bearings and all seems to be ok with the fit.

sounds like it is an f2 maybe. at least sounds like it isn't an f1 or not an original front end on it. speedo drive near the front sprocket maybe?

With the help of my local honda dealer, It's a F1 model, with later forks and wheels fitted, so the speedo should be driven of the wheel, but can't be, because the later models have them driven from the gearbox.
So no speedo, may have to look at some sort of computer?? as I can't really change the wheels and forks.
