Title: Speedometer ratio..?
Post by ThumperKat on 08/22/13 at 19:51:16

Hey guys..yipper, me again. I did a search and couldn't find an answer so I hope I'm not pushin' it by asking here..again. I've been tossing around the idea of maybe putting a bar mounted speedo on the bone rattler. I've looked, and I haven't found the speedo ratio on the Savage..I know there are a lot of universal units, and there are also a lot of different ratios used. Again, thanks in advance for any and all help! :D t

the speedo calculates speed based on the tire circumference and the rpms. lets say it's 26"

rpm * 60 * 26" ÷ (5280' * 12"/1') = mph (I think)
