A mate has one stuk on his 150bhp monsrter of a kit bike, so that he has a "speedo" to show the fuzz when he gets pulled.
Doesnt work though apparently, but fuzz isnt going to offer to sit on the tank while he demonstrates now is he? 😉

Is that a real Magnum???
it might be a figment of my imagination...but it sounds real.
😀 oh very droll now answer the question 😛
I know f-all about noisy two-wheelers, but since he's a bike nut, builds his own bikes, tries to kill himself on the isle of man every year and that thing looks like the freakish abortion of an HGV and an oil-rig Im guessing it is a Harris magnum frame kit.
A bloke at work did the same to one of his bikes.iirc he said it wasn't to bad around town but useless once on the dual-carriage way/motorway.
I've got a Sigma BC1200 cycle computer as the speedo' in my Lotus Seven inspired kitcar.
It passed SVA back in 2005 with it fitted too. It reads upto 186mph (apparently!) and does all that I need. It was only £20 when a proper car speedo' was £100+
I've seen over 100mph on it - on a private track of course.
Stoner earlier today talking about cats eyes... 😉

Photoshopped into a baby swan's A-hole? That is niche....
some bloke with aero engined Edwardian car had one of those old fashioned cable driven bike speedos on his car for similar reasons.
Asked how he saw it at night he said it was fine, on the overrun the flames from the stub exhausts illuminated it nicely.
wwaswas; I had to add a light powered by the sidelight/headlight circuit to illuminate mine 😆
ive got sigma cycle computers on both of my motorcycles as they are imports and the original speedos are in kmh i think the cycle computers are more acurate (ive checked them with gps). dont try to use wireless ones though they go a bit mad as soon as you start the engine.

I thought someone had one of these on a motorbike.
I've got a couple of salvaged cat's eye iron road castings that I use as doorstops. Not something you'd want to kick with your bare foot, I can assure you...
I'd like to know what the bloke is saying about cats eyes?
iDunno. Ask Stoner. He's the expert. 🙂
My Harris, also my first image so might not work

Ok what did I do wrong? Copied the link from flikr into the IMG box
when I was a kid we occasionally cut the eyes out of cats eyes and sold them at school - only from a long straight road though, wouldn't do it on a twisty mountain road with dangerous drops.
They were iNvented by an iRishman. From Roscommon I think.
(could be an urban myth. Seem to remember something from when I was a youngster)
I fit them to most of my bikes. Just hope the nice office doesn't press the max speed button.
2nd go
