If you get one that reads correctly - you will be very lucky as most folks have to put up with some error.
The Acewell speedometer is electronic and does have a stainless or chrome housing (not sure which one), and the electronic stuff can be programmed for your use - but the display is a bit too "Carnival" looking for my taste.
I had a Vapor Trail Tech and it is accurate, has a lot of useful information like engine temp, time, trip odometer, etc. - but it is modern looking and has a digital display.
This winter I am going to go with a more vintage look and use a Speedhut GPS speedometer. The housing is black - the gauge face, numbers and dials can be ordered in several styles and colors, and the bezel can be ordered in chrome, several styles of silver or black.
Here is a 1948 Vincent (HRD) that has a look that I think would work for me.
I ordered a Speedhut GPS gauge with the tach and speedometer in the same housing. It is the large one with a 4.5 inch gauge, and I ordered a black gauge face with red letters to match my bike.
