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 (

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
