Speedo converter

[KennonNC29]

hi im new and done a introduction in another part of the forum, im looking at getting a NC29 but dont want the stupid red stickers to tell me the mph i was wondering how good these speedo converters advertised are

i have contacted a seller as to whether it affects the how many kilometres the bike has done but was given a very blank answer could anyone tell me if once fitted it then means it goes up in miles and no longer kilometres?

The trip will count up in miles after one is fitted. So to correctly figure out your mileage, you need to multiply the kilometre reading up until the point you fitted the converter by 0.621371192. This will be the mileage up to that point so make a note of it. If you ever decide to sell, you can be accurate on the mileage.


Oh, if you want the clocks altered to read the true mileage as opposed to part kilometres/part miles, I offer this service and I also replace the kph marking with mph. You will still need the converter fitted though. I do also offer a full conversion service so that you don't need the external converter, a bit more pricey though as it's very fiddly and takes time.

OK. For example, if your bike has 15,365 kilometres on the clock at the time of conversion then you work it out like this:

15,365 kilometres x 0.621371192 = 9547.4 miles (rounded up to nearest tenth of a mile).


If you sell the bike with an odo reading of 56,750 then you work it out as follows:

56,750 - 15,365 (the zero point following conversion) = 41,385.

41,385 + 9547.4 (the kilometres reading converted to miles) = 50,932.4 miles


So, your bike's true mileage in this example is 50,932.4

sorry about that my question missed the point of what i wanted to ask i wanted to know how much it would be for the conversion?

I've used the blue converter on a few of my bikes always been fine, just write down the milage when you fitted it jobs a good un.

ahh thanks for the replies i recently was talking to a firends friend who owned a kawasaki ZXR400 H1 and told me it was a worth while buy so it looks to me i will got hat route to get mph to be displayed when i got for a small japanese 400 sports bike :)
