Clocks are electronic. To be honest I went with the idea of a speedo healer but perhaps more research was called for. I am still in two minds as to whether she will be a track bike or get her registered with the DVLA... this might make the decision for me.

The description seems generic. Have I mentioned that the GSXR forums are pretty shite! If this was a Falco I would have had the answer in a flash :smt002

Hmm yeah it 'appears' to work at first glance, but the writing does seem a bit generic.
I know he couldnt get anything to fit to convert Kph to Mph, having asked quite a few places.. it might work, I suppose a phonecall to the company would get the answer, but I know he had to buy the 750 clocks.. so Im not that confident.

I know nothing about the bike but you could try http://www.redial-uk.co.uk/

They say they can provide digital conversion for £97 inc postage - after all, the speedo doesn't need to do anything different, it's only the display.

Would you believe it, received the clocks today and they look they were dragged behind the bike for a mile or so before being sold on ebay. I will return them and try these people out

i do believe that I saw a converter at seastar last weekend - a gubbins that allegedly converts from km to mp - think it was made by motrax??


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
