can i get a mph clock face for my 21? i have seen the overlays and stickers but in my opinion thay look a bit cheap . will a face fit from another bike
If you've bought a KMH to MPH gearbox thingy, then you don't need an overlay. All you need is the neat sticker with 'MPH' written on it to stick over the word KMH on there currently. _________________ MC21SP Plaything

Where as you would have been showing 60kms it will now be 60mph instead. The mileage upto the point you fitted the convertor will still be kms, but from now on will be in miles, just keep a note of it for when you come to sell it.
Or calculate how many miles the bike has done and reset the odometer to that figure. This is not illegal. It only becomes illegal if you pretend to the next buyer that the milage is lower - so tell them what you've done and there's no problem! _________________ MC21SP Plaything

just phoned a copper mate and he said that "it is an offence to alter the odometer reading by any means, or add any device that will alter the odometer reading from the original form of odometer the vehicle was first registered with "
are you sure about that...? it's common practice for grey/jap import car retailers to add electronic converters AND reset the odo to show the original Km in miles. This mod gets through the SVA test no problem... _________________ NSR300R - Why did i ever have a 250...
Dave and Maxim are both right,i work in the motor trade and what they both have said is right,you want to point this out to your policeman friend or look it up on the net

so he is saying that the converters are illegal
Yes its an offence to alter the mileage of a vehicle, but your not doing that, your making the speedo give you a speed in mph instead of kmh. No one has mentioned altering the mileage of it, which I think everyone knows is illegal. It simply means that from when you fit it, it will clock up in miles rather then kms. Nothing illegal with that!
i,ve no clue if my mate is telling me a load of shite or not.
so agree with you lads, never the less i will leave the clock as is and just fit the converter and take down the km,s. i cannot afford to get fooked over by any more speed cams.
Ive taken mine off and andy is working on the same F3 style set up as me now. You know when youve done 60 miles cos you grind to halt... thats why we have a reserve on the tank. The only thing these bikes need are a rev counter and a temp guage. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...
