For Suzooks you need the drive that screws into the back of the clocks, the fork bottom one's WON'T fit!!!!
No prizes for guessing how I know!!

there isnt a 'gearbox' on the stock clocks. the whole speedo mechanism is different on the kph and the mph clocks. theyre configured differently for kph or mph clocks. they arent fitted with some sort of gearbox to change them from kph to mph. but, if you have a speedo with the face that reads to 240kph, then the needle will be in the right place if you change the front for a 150mph one. so for example 100mph = 160 kph, if you then fit the aftermarket reduction gearbox, then at 100mph, your speedo will only read approx 60mph, the mph-kph adaptor will only work if you leave the kph front on it and fit the adaptor giving in effect, a 240mph speedo! smart idea would be to buy a set of 180kph clocks from a 250 or 400 kat, then fit the speedo adaptor whilst leaving the kph front on, giving you a 180mph speedo which might be a bit better to look at. the only other way to do it is to find a set of mph kat clocks, strip them and use the front and the whole speedo assembly, which sort of makes you think, you might as well just fit them as they are. mph kat clocks arent that rare. but equally they arent exactly cheap either.
