Fork conversion

I have nearly finished fitting 916 forks to my 888.
Two reasons, the complete conversion, including Ohlin internals, was cheaper than getting the original forks reworked and, I can use the same front wheels for both the 888 and my ST2
Everything has been straightforward, except for the speedo drive. A 916 speedo will not easily fit without serious changes to the back of the intrument panel, which I do not want to do. However I have been told that you can swop the internals of the 888 and 916 speedo drive to use the original speedo. After looking at the drive there does not appear to be any way of taking it apart without breaking something. Does anyone know otherwise?

Thanks, Douglas
