Saw this post this morning and thought someone might have the answer.
I'll take a shot after doing a search here

I seem to remember 2240=60mph from the Old Bike Barn website.
Check out this thread for some interesting info on aftermarket speedos

As for your tach you would remove the cable and then cap where the cable exits the engine. Should be easy enough.
