Hey guys, I bought a 76 cb550 bobber and it has no speedo.  It actually has nothin but a headlight and taillight, but im slowly gettin into a little safer bike.  I wanna put a small speedo on it but i need to know the ratio.  it has the factory wheel and speedo drive on it.  Any help is appreciated..thanks

It s 60@2240 I believe.  You can definitely find them.  Also, somewhere on here is a list of all the different ratios etc.  The new search has made it require  a little more digging.
