Topic: tach/speedo question cb750 old tractor style

[jamesb]

i can't use my speedo on my bike.has anyone used the the tach/speedo combo that was used on old tractors that ran off the tach it self.or do you think the wireless digital ones used for bicycles would work some those read up to 70mph (who goes that fast on a bicycle).

i don't need one now, my son informed me that my phone can be a speedometer. he downloaded a app to my phone.

There is at least one company that makes a bike computer speedo that goes above 100mph, can't remember the brand off hand though, my brother has it on his harley, and he has had it over 115mph and still reading.

otherwise acewell has some very cool products as well:

Some Sigma bike speedos run up to 185 mph.
You need the cable run kind, the wireless kind picks up ignition frequences, and go haywire

i'm running a invader rim on the front.so there is no way of running a cable type speedo

If anyone does find one of these speedos, let me know.  I've been wanting one ever since I first saw it on my dad's 1951 Ford 8N tractor.  It'd clean up the look of the front well imo.  I think all you'd really have to do is print a new gauge face for a regular CB tach.
