Speedo recomondation?
« on: July 27, 2020, 09:21:33 AM »
Ive got a 78 cb550 and im just looking for a cheap mini Speedo dial gauge. I'm just looking to get speed out of it cheap and easy.  Do you guys have any recommondations? If so provide a link.
Thanks

You posted in the project section.  Post this in the SOHC/4 Bikes section.  The ratio is 2240:60 or 2240rpm of the cable = 60mph.  I have used mini gauges on my CB750 and they work fine.  The stock gauges are much nicer though.

You can likely get minigauges from Cycle-X but I've never used them.  And all in one Koso is not a bad option either.  Stock size but all in one -- analog needle tach with a digital speedo.
