my sip speedo pick up sensor has just arrived with a tiny magnet and would just like to see how this is fitted please if possible as ive done away with drum on front and have disc conversion . where have you guys got it fitted thanks piccys please

i stuck it on the hub where it sticks out for the bearing to go in if that makes sense , good blob of araldite under it.

If you have the active sensor, which I believe you do, you don't need the magnet. The sensor will pickup a bolt head moving past and the bolts that hold the disk to the hub are ideal for this. The official bracket to mount the sensor is this one:

You can see it in action on Edens scooter in this post http://scooterotica.org/forum/viewtopic ... 4&start=10
and you could probably fit it so the sensor goes through the lower hole in your caliper bracket to pick up the disc bolts.
Now you have gone down the sensor route, not only can you get rid of the speedo cable but also the speedo drive housing and gear (using a suitable spacer to replace the housing to keep everything lined up). I did on mine and I like the cleaned up look.

great so they sold me a magnet and active speed sensor and they didnt bloody tell me i needed a bracket my sensor is part number KOBF640JO2 SA07 ??

Resurrecting this as I've fitted the speedo using the cable, interested in using the active sensor I have. I understand the hub end using bolts or magnets, but how do you set the speedo itself for this input, and whether using 1 magnet or 4 studs etc.?
