    Year, model?
    Also, you can simply print a decal to cover the face... (the cheapest way). Would suggest you use a laser printer for longest lasting results.

    98+, you can get indiglo faces that will also show miles...

        Now that it appears you've updated your ride profile:

        '05 Kat 600.

        OEM is going to cost you an arm and leg new (figure mail-order will be $360 + S&H for Suzuki part #34120-08FA0, $390-$400 at your local dealer).

        Same general answers apply as before:

        (A) Print new decals to cover the Speedo Face and paste them on. Templates for this are on my website. Links to the templates can be found in this thread:
        Forums - KatRiders.com
        http://www.katriders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10598
        Katriders.com Suzuki Katana Discussion Forums


        (B) Order the indiglow (indigo) gauge face replacement kit ($90 or so; I have a set in stock).

        (C) Buy an used set off eBay. 98+ should fit, but caution: only '00 and later have the clock in the dash. Depending on where you're at, buying the whole bike used (in salvage condition) may be just as cheap. There's one in Maryland we've all been eyeballing that's currently going for $13 or so (no title, wrecked).

        Cheers

              Both the templates I have listed in that thread and the indigo kits have both miles and kph listed on the 98+ gauges.

                Not that I'm aware of. You could always move them around in an art program.

                    or canada...which will probably be alot cheaper. Actually, with you yanks being the only ones globally who can't seem to get a grasp on the metric system, you can buy one anywhere else in the world. I bought a used one off ebay to repalce my broken one...it had both.
                    Just be aware of this....it is THE LAW to have mph on the speedo in the states. I know this as fact because customs will not allow a bike or car to be imported into the US unless the metric speedo has mph as well. If it doesn't, you have to replace it. Same thing reverse....a car or bike will not be allowed into canada unless it has kph.
                    Well....the vehicles CAN be legally imported into either country without the proper speedo, but it will not pass inspection. If you do not need yearly inspections or anything like that, you will be ok. But technically....if for some reason it is inspected or a cop happens to notice it, the bike can be pulled from the road until it meets that requirement.
                    I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

                      I'd just pick up a Canadian Cluster off of E-bay or something similar.
                      They read in both Kmh and Mph.

                          European ones don't have miles on them, at least not the ones on the continent -- I don't know about the ones for the UK.

                          Do the Canadian ones have KPH around the outside and MPH in smaller print around the inside? Because that's what he was asking for.

                              My 03 has Kms only on the speedo, I had to put a cheat sheet on the top of my tank bag last time I was down there.
