Re: 170 speedo at DMC (Texas) event

Was it Dave that called me yesterday about it? he said he was coming from
the UK, but didn't give his name...

The price is $147.85, about 6 quid at the current exchange rates, right? ;-)

To buy it outright, where you keep your old one, is the same as buying a
speedo ($245.71), PLUS the conversion of $147.85 - total about $400. My
advice would be to buy a metric cluster (240 km/h - 140mph) for $312.50. The
metric figures are dominant, but you still get a speedo that goes over
85mph.
