1) they never made separate dash parts for our bikes. it came as one whole unit= £100+ only 2nd hand available.
2) you can roll it back.... with a drill and several days of boredom!
3) take a photo of it as it is, log the current klms down, date and sign the pic.. fit converter and get on with riding it!

simples- *squeek*

That's what I have, and is the most genuine way for yourself and any future buyer. Keeps the MOTs consistent as well.

Plus I like looking down and seeing over 50000 on my bike, 30000 just doesn't look as good!

Impressive for a bike that spends most of that mileage above 10,000 rpm!

I also have a ZX7R ( :sshh: probably should not announce that on here) so I'm afraid the NC29 does not get used much these days :(

Its currently got a MPH overlay but someones done a poor job at puttin it on its bubbled and got a deep scratch on it and its on wrong because im doin 40kmh and the overlay says 30mph when 30mph is 51kmh :( so want to do away with it and mines got 82,900kmh under its belt only had 45 when i bought it 3 n half years ago :) but its had a new engine while ive had it other one had worn 2nd gear and a bit tappy plus had a spill on it an a dowel took part of the lower crankcase with it :(

Thanks for you suggestions anyway guys really appreciate it, Peter
