series 3 Speedo face

Postby ianjc » Fri Jun 05, 2026 8:22 pm

Is it possible to change the Speedo face from a Km to a mph face and get a correct reading.
Reason for asking is I would like to stick with the original Speedo km covered by the bike.

If you have a 120KPH clock face then yes you can just change the face to a 70MPH face and it will show the correct(ish) speed in MPH but the odometer will still clock up in kilometers.
Similarly, If you have a 140KPH face then you would need a 90MPH replacement face.
If you need the odometer in MPH then just fit a complete replacement MPH clock. The internal odometer reel mechs can easily be "persuaded" (clocked) to show whatever mileage you want.
