Yes it is a revision type of thing but cosidering it was in both models of nc35 it was not an upgrade over time it was specific as in version l and version ll of both the RR and RT. Its not a big deal but i will try to find out somehow as thats what this post is about. Maybe a letter to mr Honda? There is someone on this site who can speak Japanese, perhaps he can check it out and clear it up? Jaicen where are you?
Just a thought and just a wild idea but if those dual face speedos existed on the "ll" JDM bikes they could have been put on bikes destined for somewhere like Okinawa. As you have a large American base there and lots of bored soldiers with money to burn (and can possibly only understand mph) ok a slim chance but you never know.
Its one bogey i have never been able to solve on my bike (why two speedos, one for the R and one for the R-ll? The only difference in the fiche) so hopefully the collective powers of many can solve this puzzle.
No chance at all of the Okinawa thing. Speedo's have to be in km/h. I've just got in so i'll have a look at the parts book now, it tells you what models the speedo's were used on.
It does NOT necessarily imply two parallel versions and It can still be a revision over time and I still believe that is the case.
The RH model (1987) had different jets to the RH-II model (same year though!) Half way through the batch they must have decided to change something, it's not hard to see that they would do this with the first and second year RVF's.
The only way to identify the RH from the RH-II at sight is by frame number.
RH go from frame NC24-1000000xxxx to NC24-100000000xxx and RH-II are from NC24-1005xxxxx ->
The NC35 will be the same, I'm trying to find a parts book to read the frame codes and other information from so I can tell you what the differences were.

NC35s imported officially from Japan with white kph marks and in blue mph marks in one speedo (or vice versa) I remember the NC35 from member Craig see his website
http://www.rvf400.co.uk if still pics on there. Is this rt-II?
It isn't a UK spec RVF, regardless of what the owner says.
It's just a JDM bike with a new speedo on there from 'RE-Dial UK' they've gone out of business now but many importers used to use them to re-face the speedo's of the bikes, some people on here have the same face on their NC30 clocks.
They were 29gbp when you could buy them.
Other clues is that the licence plate holder is a stock Japanese one that's been drilled a little, theres no red-reflector or any other UK required stuff on it. The engine oil filler label is also in Japanese which is a dead give away.
To sum up:
I believe the -I -II is a revision list NOT a parellel model. (I'm waiting a parts book to confirm this with 30/35 but for the NC24 there are a later range of frame numbers for the RH-II model than the RH.)
Spedo wise, (again waiting for parts book but to confirm) BUT the parts book lists two speedos' for the Japanese bikes, but only L,M and N models, not their revisions (I,II,III and IV) so the revision number had No difference on choice of speedo, also the two types of speedo were used on all models. The fiches specifiec a type code for the bike that I can cross-check to find out what speedo went on what bike but it's most likely a minor difference, such as manufacturers, as an example (the N30 used a flywheel from two different manufacturers) will not be markings in mph etc [think of the amount of nc30's and nc35's, nc29's etc in the UK, nobody has ever notcied any difference with their speedo's so the different part numbers will be someting minor]
Will get back to you after I finish looking.
einstein asked lots of questions, i'm not the most intelligent but if i were a cat i'd prob be dead by now
