Honda.

Most likely from a CB175/250/350K

I think L.A.B. is right. Honda made these twin leaders in two different sizes. The 200mm variant went into the CB72 and CB450 whereas the smaller 180mm was used in the CB175/250/350. Yours would be the 180mm as the 200mm looks similar, but has no speedo drive.
