The speedo shop can re-calibrate your speedo to make it go up to 100 or 120 and then all you'd need is a new decal.
A local graphic design shop said they could easily make me a new vinyl decal after scanning in the old guage and knowing how far apart to space the lines. For example if your speedo is one of hte 80mph versions and you up it to 100mph the new ratio would be 8:10 to set up the spacing. The decal would cost about $10 because of the new technology that allows print shops to make one decal on a color digital printer instead of having to set up severl different color plates and do it on a huge offset press.
The local speedo shop here said it would be about $40 to recalibrate my speedo that way.
If you end up taking the guage to a speedo shoppe they'll go through it and replace the needle for pretty cheap- $35-$50 maybe, plus shipping if it isn't local.
