    The NC24 is still in kph with tippex marks at 30, 50 (when an annoying
    red light comes on) and 70.

    I need an overlay of mph amounts - the one on the ZXR is just a
    sticker over the top.

    I've googled for 'km to mph speedo overlay nc24' and got nothing.

    What are they actually caled so I can go a googling?

    They are called "learn to convert it in your head and anyway you only need a
    few reference points". My stickers on the NC30 annoy me immensely. My car is
    a German import with a KPH speedo and it's easy enough without stickers.

    Pffft, just work it out in your head. That's what I do for the Elefant:
    48, 64, 80, 96, 112.
    Would this do?

    However, if I was bothered about that kind of thing, I'd get one of the
    gearing converter jobbies, like this kind of thing:

    I can convert in my head, I'm used to having an overlay so i don't
    have to and can get on with keeping the thing upright.
    I find mine useful.
    Different on a bike.

    See reply to TD.
    That's the sort of thing thanks - does anyone know if the speedos on
    the NC30 and NC24 are the same?
    That involves <shudder> doing things to the bike.

    Easier than fitting a brake lever.

    Note that if you intend doing it, I understand that Honda's need the
    adaptor for the top of the speedo cable, not the bottom.

    Huh? 8/5 isn't 1.6?

    Does that rule out painting this here spare speedo face in the colour
    and font of your choice , dismantling the speedo and swapping the
    faces over?
    Just paint or letraset 30 where 50 is and 50 where 80 is and bingo,
    you have a backlit speedo that you can read at night.....

    The word dismantling is the clue here.
    Oh that's a point I need to take it out at night.

    Rexx had one on his VFR400. LN could contact him via his website
    www.rexx.co.uk to see what he actually bought. I imagine he either sold it
    to Nidge with the bike or Niged it out

    Meh, keeping it upright rarely involves looking at the clocks.
    How so? Pray tell.
