Speedo swop

colin806 · 06-25-2008, 07:09 PM

My Honda 450 has an ugly, faulty rectangular binnacle with the speedo and tacho inside. The speedo is fed by a cable from the front wheel. I would like to fit twin clocks from another bike. If I use closcks from another bike with same size front wheel will the speedo read correctly? Does it need to be from a Honda or do all bikes use same gearing to drive speedo cable?

Thanks guys - i thought that the size of wheel determines how many revs it does which via the speedo pickup gears shows the speed.

I'm noy in a hurry so hoefully someone will come along who has done something similar
