Bar Mounted Speedo 4 Years, 2 Months ago  
Hey guys, this is my first post here, not new to forums, but I looking to maybe buy a roadstar tomorrow.

My question is, I would like to add a small handlebar mounted speedo, is the speedo on a 2001 roadstar electronic or mechanical drive? Anysuggestion for a handlebar mounted unit?

I do custom paint and body work, and plan to do a good bit on this so a bar mounted speedo would really fit the bill.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re:Bar Mounted Speedo 4 Years, 2 Months ago  
Thanks guys, I have a few pics of the bike that the guy I am buying from sent, but I will wait unitl I get some better ones after I get here and ley you guys have a look at it.

I am alredy starting a list of mods and dont even have the bike yet, I know i will be puttin about a $3 to $4k paint job, and probably some body mods, but once I pick it up tomorrow and get it here I will evaluate the whole situation and start the prep.

Hey Big_J
Can never have to many custom painter/bodymen around here!!

Here's a place to start:

Edit: Hey Big_J, just realized that you wanted speedo, not tach.

I would never ride in a Speedo; doesn't offer much protection.



Sorry, I saw the subject line and just had to be a smarta**.
