blue convertor gearbox that plugs in between the speedo and the cable is the only way to get MPH AFAIK (except POSSIBLY an early Fireblade one?)

Gold ones won't work with the type of setup these bikes run I believe

It uses gears inside the blue thing to change it to mph

Thereby meaning your speedo needle only swoops over the first 2/3 of the dial... doesn't help much with reading it!

I had one for over a year, and never had any trouble reading the dials at all, especially seeing as you don't need much more than 1/3 of the dial anyway :peace:
