    If i were to get the brazilian speedo gauge, would i be able to change the tranny gear so that the km would read as mph if that makes any sense....:huh:

    Speedo .......... that's funny ........ :rofl2:

    If he sets it up right with the right gears, he would have an MPH speedo that goes to 200 ....... :dance:

    Yeah, but why? If he ever approaches that speed in a Maverick I'm sure he could just ask God how fast he went...

    i have the brazilian speedo.
    if your current speedo is giving you the right mph, and if you have the scale going up to 120 mph, you won't need to change gears. it's just a mere swap of scales, just as if you would re-mark your current speedo.

    Yes, but I think he's hoping to make a 220 MPH speedometer by tweaking the gears.
