As some may recall...I need to get my bike inspected. And because I need to
have a working speedo....
I worked up a couple solutions -
1) ask 'em stright out if I can run a bicycle speedo.
2) a BMW /5 speedo/tach cluster will fit and has the plugs for the idiot
lights. And I think it will be reasonably accurate (2:1 drive which I think
the veglia is as well.) the only problem here is that the idiot lights on
the BMW are 2 wire. They each have their own hot and the Ambo uses a common
hot with each light gronding at the instrument. This means I may have to do
some weird wiring to make it work. Why go to the effort when a 30 buck bike
speedo will work? This way I have a cluster that looks okay, works well and
I don't have a big hole while the stock unit is rebuilt.
anything I missed?
I am assuming that the ratio in the speedo did not change between the V7 and
the ambassador
