Speedometer Swap
« on: March 15, 2015, 09:47:54 AM »
So I recently bought my first bike and planned to do some work on it. It is a 1970 Honda Cb100. It is complete but some of the parts could be replaced. It has an American Speedometer on it therefore it is mph. I live in Canada so i want to swap the speedo for one in kmh. I have purchased an original 1970 honda cb100 speedo from ebay but my question is what do I have to do to the bike so it will cooperate with the new speedo.

Youll have to remove the old one, install the new and connect the cable.
