Speedo and alternatives...sigma mc8?

Need to replace my speedo (replaced cable after old 1 snapped and the bloody thing is under-reading badly...or maybe I've just piled the weight on lol) and am thinking of putting a digital one in. Has anyone tried the Sigma MC8 digital one the MB sell? Any ideas on how easy or not it is to fit? Or any alternatives?

Cheers, John

Aye they're the ones. Are you replacing the stock speedo with this sitting in the headset or attaching it somewhere else? And how easy/how do you fit the magnets on the wheel?
