Speedo Decals
« on: March 29, 2006, 09:20:34 PM »
Does anyone know where to get a speedo decal for a 74 750K in kilometers instead of miles?  I need to get the bike safetied in Canada this spring, and I need the KPH markings.  I tried Carpy, but I would need to send him KPH gauge faces to be reproduced.

I've had a number of old CB's safetied in Canada (Toronto area) and have never had KM/Hr on my speedo.  Who told you that you have to have this?

I've also had bike registered in BC and Alberta without this requirement - I think you might want to double check on this one.

If you need the decals call

You don't need a kph speedometer if the bike originally came in mph. I believe that 1977 was the first year of the kph speedometers. Try another shop for the safety.
