1980 XS650 Special Electronic Speedometer

[Daniel Hunwick]

Hey!

I recently purchased an electronic speedometer from MikesXS and I’m having something trouble with the install. It came with a bracket and two magnetic bolts (picutered below), but I’m having trouble figuring out where it’s supposed to mount. There’s an install diagram on their site, but it’s only for the wiring. If anyone has any idea on how to do this, I’d appreciate the input! Thanks!

Think the bracket is just generic. it's popular to mount the magnet in a rotor bolt this could be done in the unused rotor bolt holes on the LH side of the wheel. You can then fashion a bracket for the sensor that attaches to one of the unused caliper mounts on the back of the fork tube.
It would be great to see what you end up doing. I have an electronic speedo from China, I haven't attempted to mount it yet.

Have you e-mailed Mikes? They got right back to me when I asked a question about Carbs I had bought.

They finally got back to me and re-explained how to mount everything, haha.

The two magnetic bolts screw in under the left side hub cover. The bracket attaches under the left side bottom of the forks and the cable attaches to it to pick up the bolts as they rotate with the wheel.
