Metric Trip Computer Swap?
My 86 ZN1300 is a "US Model' which I imported to Canada. The speedometer will display MPH or KPH which is very handy but the Trip computer uses Miles/Gallons. Does anyone know if a Metric Trip computer (i.e. from a Canadian or Euro model) can be swapped in 'plug-n-play'. Also wondering if the dashboard trip display is selectable to show Kilometres instead of Miles or is that connected to the Trip Computer?

Re: Metric Trip Computer Swap?
Finally got around to doing some followup on this...
Here's what a US trip computer display looks like:
Not sure what the metric version looks like but guessing it's marked in, for example: KPL (Kilometers Per Liter) - or something like that, compared to the US's MPG version.
US version of the circuit board looks like this:
Notice that KM1 and KM2 traces - circled in red - it's possible these are 'populated' differently on metric versions. Anyone got a metric version they can post a picture of?
