Nah...I don't mean retro fitting, just tell Tony at the factory to put Part B(US Speedo where MPH is larger and on outside with KMH on inside) in these getting shipped rather than Part A. I worked in a car factory making Vettes and Hummers. It's an extra box of parts because the calibration for the speedometer hand is the same, its just the visibility issue. The clock would require each new clock/dispaly going out to get new programming.

Or buy another bike if it irritates so much. We in the UK used to be fed up with 12 hour clocks on Piaggios, at last they listened to us!
