Indigo gauges and speed change.

Since people are looking to get enough pre orders for indiglo gauges in.... I was wondering if it was possible to put the 145 mph face on instead of a 110mph (the one in there now). I'm switching the rear gear soon, and know I'd have to buy a recal box for it anyways. Are the recalibration boxes customisble? Could I do this? Or are the recal boxes just preset specifically to the gear you're putting in?

If you want to change from a 110 to a 140 You should change the whole unit. If you adjust for your speed through the computer, and don't change the actual speedo, your Odometer will be off. In your case it will work to your advantege, but leagally that might get you in some big dog do-do..

For example, when it reads 140, your Odometer thinks your going 110...

does that explain it?
