Title: Intruder speedo on a savage?
Post by Drifter on 08/02/11 at 08:47:54

Any one know if the speedo drive on a savage/s40 is the same as an  800 intruder?  Would be nice to have the speedo in eye sight and to have a tripmeter!  Another benefit getting a bigger tank like some are using on cafe bikes.

Yes, a tripmeter would be nice.

The tanks on the RYCA bikes are smaller than stock.

a GS speedo might work, and yes they have a trip meter.

Congress might agree on something good for the country also......  >:(

If the speedo drive matches the cable and its a 19 inch tire it should work, only thing needed is a bracket to mount it and the wiring hook up for the lights..anyone have a savage and intruder should be easy to see if it will work.

I guess the speedo drive is not on the front wheel like most other bikes, so that changes things.  i bought my saveage off ebay and its 6 states away...i would have seen that if it was in my shop.  :-[

The speedo being so far down from sight seems real dangerous to me.  I have to take my eyes completely off the road to look at it.  I did find a $16 mount for my GPS on tiger direct .com so I am going to order that and mount it on my handle bars.  It will give me mph, direction, time and that nifty map.

I also have the parts to hook up a 12 volt cig lighter/plug.

Your idea might be alot easier though.
