There was a good tip in one of the bike magazines a while ago. 
Get the glass off the speedo either by prying or disassembly and 
snip off the pin that stops the needle going past 85. You can then
paint on more numbers and stick another pin on further round the
dial. They suggested paper stick-on digits, but white-out would
probably work just as well. I ride a Honda CB750F and have the same
problem (85mph speedo). I haven't gotten around to this mod yet, but
someday...
