I don't know about availability in Croatia but for the speedo question, another option from the bicycle tip is TrailTech offers a unit called the Vapor. The unit will replace the stock speedo, rpm and temp gauge. It uses a cpu that can adust speedo and odometer values based on tire diameter (similar to the bicycle gauge). It also incoporates a tach and water temp display. An intersting aspect of the water temp is others have reported the sensor is the same thread and length as the stock one, so it can be screwed as a replacement directly into the head. I haven't done this mod myself but I'm looking at it as I have an 18" front and as the unit is smaller, I think I can rig up a means to put my gps down into the faring along side this unit? http://trailtech.net/motorcycle_vapor_kits.html Doug
