If you fit a new odometer, do you have to get it certified or anything to prove it was fitted at a certain mileage? I'm thinking in terms of replacing the standard display on my bike when replacing the headlight (the current display looks too chunky without the fly screen that fits around the headlight). I don't fancy fitting a buell fly screen or something to cover it as it gets done all the time!

No..

but it helps when you come to sell it if you have a record of the mileage at changeover, old odo, and starting mileage on new..

Speedo Replaced at XXXXX Miles. if you have a service book, there is normally space to record things like that there,

I've had a speedo changed on an E30 BMW, and changed speedos on my 82 Katana, and didn't inform anyone, as long as you don't try to mislead with the mileage..


you would need to find a speedo that works how yours does currently... my Kat was cable operated, and swapped with a GS item, and the BMW was a like for like, due to internal battery failure..
