Default Speedo Change

How difficult is it to swap out the 85MPH speedo for something a little more realistic. I have a 700r4 with the proper gearing for the stock set up. Any tips on getting the old speedo out and the new one in? Will I need to change any drive gears?

It's pretty easy, you only have to remove the glass from the gauge cluster, remove the black plate, undo the 3 srews that hold the speedo, remove heater tube under dash, reach up and pull speedo cable out. Take out speedo, remove VSS pickup. Then install VSS in new speedo, push in place, slip in the speedo cable and bolt everything back together. http://sans.rondom.org/albums/smokeybbq/aaq.jpg

I don't think the 165mph speedo is available anymore.
