- March 22, 2021, 03:28:05 AMOK, fitted a Nomad clock and all looks good, odo displays and needle moves, however when out on the road it felt too fast, clock reading 60MPH and I was passing loads of traffic. Got into town traffic pulled over, launched GPS app on phone, set off riding again and noticed that the kph reading of 30 was spot on for 30MPH, back onto motorway and the 70kph reading was spot on for 70mph. Any ideas how to get the correct needle reading?

- January 14, 2021, 03:26:51 AMHi guys, I have a KPH only dial and need MPH/KPH for MOT. Does anyone know if other Vulcan speedo gauges work with R1 1500 Drifter? If so which??
