After messing about with different speedo's including koso i got fed up with the unreliabilty of them and farting about with pick-ups and magnets etc, I eventually took the plunge and treated myself to an anolgue gps speedo made by an American company called speedhut.. It came and what a bit of kit.. superb and easy to wire just connect it to 12 volts(dc unfortunately) position the antenna and away you go..proper odometer and trip and lots of other functions inc 0-60 timer, 1/4 mile timer etc etc..
...
I aquired a cheap head set and got a friend to machine me an ally ring .I then cut a hole in headset then got the ring tigged into the headset
filled and rubbed down
Etched primed , flated down and then filler primed and flated down again
Just got to get it top coated now to match scoot.
The speedo you get from speed hut is made to your own required colours ie face colour, bezel, ,digits and logo if required...
Just waiting to get the green top coat now..

That looks good iang.iang wrote:I run a cht gauge on mine and works spot on..It's an American gauge made by a company called Dakota and they specialise in gauges for harleys.. In a word you get what you pay for, in that i've tried cheaper gauges and they work ok , but not perfectly in the fact they don't respond quick enough and you can't trust the readings..My Dakota gauge works as it should ,ie inclines,declines, full throttle, and even showed a sudden shoot up when having some pinking issues!!..I've even tested and compared it to a proper infra-red digital hand held tester.. It's that good that if you leave the probe stood so it reaches room temperature and then just grab and squeeze the probe with your fingers it responds immediately to the temp of your fingers. In a word well worth the money..

After reading your thread above regarding the dako digital temp guage.I came across these GPS speedo's yesterday
and wondered if they would be worth a go, I was also looking at speedhuts temp gauges also, but may run the dako based on your feedback.
