I've heard the mechanical speedos tend to fail quickly when used at motorbicycle speeds.
I will look into that one for sure !I got a 7 function bike computer from Walmart for around $23. Northern Tools sells a tachometer/ hour counter for around $50.
thanks that's the kinda info im looking for!!I've heard the mechanical speedos tend to fail quickly when used at motorbicycle speeds.
I use electronic. (or did until mine went wonky from interference...)
Still haven't replaced the battery which MIGHT fix the issue,
I'm running a Trailtech Vapor, has a tach with dual readouts (bar and number), speedometer, etc. Backlit when hooked up to 12V.
It's large and expensive tho.

If you just want a small tach, I recommend the Trailtech TTO.

awesome right up my alley ! thanks Man!Here is a link to the speedometer I been using on all my bikes the last 4 years, replace battery about once a year which can be found very cheap now days, I think I paid around $1.50 for 4 new batteries last year at Harbor Freight tools and I saw some at Big Lots store this last week really cheap, very common battery, easy to set up and it checks out accurate with my GPS.
This seller has them listed for $7.99 or best offer, I'll bet $6.99 will have one shippd to your door if you offer that amount.
Hope this helps, for the money I have'nt found anything that beats these speedometers, haven't had a single failure since 2009.

ok ordered it today ,You're very welcome, best bang for the buck when all you want is a good inexpensive speedo that will take the vibes in the bars and has proven for me to be very reliable and accurate.
Happy riding......!

yeah will see ,I live in pa weather isn't to bad ,I never ridding my bike in the rain its 20 years old and in almost perfect shape. so if it breaks on my bike wasn't meant to be lolI suppose it depends on your weather and eyesight as to what works best, for me here in the desert anything electronic is a waste of money for me, I have like 5 little cheap speedo's on the 'useless' shelf.
Between the heat, sun glare and tiny digital display they either fail from heat or way to difficult to glance at for my current speed so I just use a big 'ole analog speedo.
$25 at my local bike shop.
