speedo readings
My Bongo speedo reads in miles per hour. Is it possible to get a sticker with Km per hour for motoring abroad?
Re: speedo readings
It's easy to remember the important ones
Roughly
31 = 50
40 = 65
50 = 80
62 = 100
70 = 110
80 = 130

Re: speedo readings
I got a complete new dial on ebay (eg. item number 310065152925). It has both mph (outer ring) and kmph (inner ring). To fit, it does require dismantling of the instrument dial unit - a bit involved. I don't know of a simple stick-on solution, but you could convert mph to equivalent kmph and just have a post-it note with this info on next to the speedo. I did this before I fitted the mph disc. There are lots of conversion calculation sites on the web eg. http://www.militaryfactory.com/conversi ... to_kmh.asp .lesamos wrote:My Bongo speedo reads in miles per hour.

Re: speedo readings
I thought all speedos read in both, mph on the outer rim and kph inside, never seen one with just mph.

KPH ones chipped to read in MPH and with an "MPH" sticker over "KPH" are, as there is obviously no need for dual KPH/MPH markings in Japan.David Edwards wrote:I thought all speedos read in both, mph on the outer rim and kph inside, never seen one with just mph.
