What speed did the speedo go to on the 78 KZ650? I have a drive unit for one and need to know if I can use it on my 160mph KZ1000 speedo.

I know it would not be any fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?

My F1 had the 85mph spedo which was trashed in my accident, so now was my chance to get a 140mph spedo from ebay. I was assured by members here that all the calibration is in the spedo and not the gear. So I would think if the gear would work with the 85 and 140 it would work with the 160?

Yes, providing the front wheel from the speedos donor bike is the same size (19" on all early KZ650's IIRC) as your bikes is.
Let me get this straight, when you crashed last August you were only going 15 MPH?...Wuss! :laugh:
J/K!
If you pegged the needle on your trashed speedo and took a pic of it, that sure would make for a great avatar! :woohoo:
