Don't know if I completely understand the question but I think off the top of my head that 1km=0.62miles. That conversion also works for speed. 100km/hr= 62mph.

I believe you will need a new speedometer if you look in the catalog they have different listings for mph and kph.

Go to your Stealer...
He can set the mileage to match what is currently on your bike...
and do the high math...MPH X 1.609= KMH

be prepared to spend some $$

You can go with a Dakota Digital Speedo. This what I have on my bike and I love it. Gives you selectable mph/kmph, a digital tach, a gear position indicator, clock, odometer with two resettable trips, 1/4 mile times, choice of red or blue LED's, and many other features. It's a simple plug and play unit as well. You get all this for about the same price a a Harley unit. They retail for $499.95 on their website but you can get them cheaper if you shop around.
Just a suggestion.

Ride On!
