i am waiting for motion pro to make up a dellotro throttle cable for my triton r4. while waiting i am looking at setting up one of those $12 bicycle speedos on the r4.. i expect this has been done before and i have seen some mounted in motorcycles with the magnet jbwelded to the wheel rim or brake rotor. anyone have experience with mounting the magnet on the r4?

cool. i cut a section from an old handle bar and slit it in 1/2 length wise. i planned on using tie wraps to mount the section and readout to the plastic top cover on the handle bar.. i have a small round magnet and a pickup that gets tie wrapped to the fork leg. i will see if i can jbweld the magnet inside the rim where it might live a more sheltered existence..

dont use the wireless ones and make sure you get one that you can program to your proper wheel size some just have settings not infinet progaming

Didn't know some weren't fully adjustable for wheel size. I have 3. One 906 and two 1200s. The earlier model is actually better. Easier to set up and reset and such. Otherwise, they're pretty much identical.

Ah. I have tried a Schwinn years ago. It went backwards after about 50MPH.
