Speedo dial colour changes
Bryanj:
Either that or the US legal numpties insisting on something else that wasnt needed!
Oddjob:
TBH I think the addition of the extra information like the KPH ring inside the MPH ring was more to do with responding to customer comments, it's very useful to have that sort of thing when you're touring in countries that use a different speed measuring system than your own country, like us touring on the continent, nothing worse than mentally trying to convert MPH to KPH whilst also concentrating on the road. Most bikes seem to have gotten that feature after 77 or so.
Plus, TBH I kinda like it on the dial face, fills it out and makes it look posher for some reason.
Bryanj:
Did you ever work on a urinal, sorry ural, Ken? They had a clear sticker on the outside of the glass for mph
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
KENT400 here offerred me choices for the speedometer faces on my 400 in the end I went for the extra inner kph markings.

I've just found the old /original speedo from my 400 four in a box of bits, no inner KPH markings. It's a 1977 reg bike.
