Does anyone know if I can make the white speedo & tacho from a KZ C3 fit my KZP-9?

Not quite sure what clocks you are referring too, other than if you can make it physically fit, the speedo gearboxes are all the same ratios I believe, and if you are going to an electronic tacho from cable driven then just pick a pulse wire to the tacho -usually black, from one of the coil -ve wires.

You may need to change / reconfigure the block connector, oem Hitachi mini block connectors are available on ebay uk.

KZ C3? the KZP-9 is a police mk 9?

KZ C3 = 1980 KZ1000-C3 Police ......... KZP-9 = 1990 KZ1000-P9

From the diagrams at partzilla:
The C model has a cable driven tachometer. The P has an electronic tach.

Any thoughts on just swapping the clock faces? I think the white ones look so much better on the police bikes.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationYou might be able to get some new custom faces made up, there are companies advertising online. Also you get 150 mph clocks.

Clocks are usually quite in demand so it would be a shame to trash a decent set just for the faces.

Msybe have a chat with these, if they have a low minimum order maybe knock a few sets out and sell them your self.
