replaceable parts?
08/27/09 at 08:42:02
I was wondering how many people actually wanted to replace/have replaced the speedo in this thing. I dont so much mind the one now, but I'd kill for a trip odometer. Also was wondering if anyone knew where I could find floorboards for my bike, instead of the pegs.
thanks

If you dont mind drilling out the holes a little larger, a set of Harley floorboards will work.

I hear you on the trip meter. Some use a 3 digit combo lock to record the milage at the last fill up. Simple elegant and inexpensive.Others use a grease pencil to jot down the milage at fill up. Simpler and even less expensive Still others like me have installed a bicycle computer. It works great. Mine's a Sigma. They need to be good for as fast as the bike goes. Mine's good for 100mph which leaves plently of room before maxing out. You get a spedo, trip meter and clock all in one.

Go with the Sigma. Best IMHO.
Floorboards need to customized. There's a mod in the tech section how to convert Harley passenger floorboards. I put Harley full size frunt adjustable floorboards on mine, but you have to drill out the hole and drill a hole in the top of the mounts for set screws. But anything can be done if you have the time/patience/tools/ingenuity.

Schwinn wired (not wireless) bicycle speedometer. Rare earth magnets on the brake rotor, secured w/superglue as well. Tripmeter in 5.28' increments! Works great and I can see the speedo without looking down.

I didn't like the stock speedo setup so much that I moved it up on the handlebars and figured out a fuel gauge too.

Yeah thats not really a fair post, to get a fuel gauge you have to install a tank from a bike that came with one.

Acewell makes a great speedo with a triup memter. Wjhat you do is do the 750 Vulcan tank mod with the Acewell speedo.
