I may well be wrong but recall all the speedo drives being basically the same....the calibration came from the clocks end.


But as I don't 'KNOW' this I'll happily be corrected by someone who does.....which is usually the case.

Yeah you will need the workings from a speedometer and the face that its max mph represents.
The speedo drives are all the same, i'm pretty sure of this.
The 140mph Z650 speedo will probably be cheaper to pick up than a Z1-1000 item.
Try Al Marshall, he has tonnes of spares.
