Oh Bollocks.......speedo woes. Advice please.

Excellence does not demand perfection.
Hi Guys,

I've just been plodding away in the background, researching and buying the necessary parts to swap front ends on my CB250RSA, just waiting for my All Balls Racing order to arrive from Germany. All was going so smoothly, I knew the disc on the donor set up was mounted on the left side as opposed to the right on my CB. But it thought no sweat, I'll just flip my wheel (original spoked job) around and mount the speedo drive on the other side. Awe crap, just realised that would mean it would now run in reverse.

Solutions please, perhaps an early CB450 drive might work, but these are hard to get hold of or perhaps fit an electronic speedo, (might work as I'm trying to go for a clean lightweight bike) but need to find the right one.

Thank You.
 
Acewell electronic speedos are pretty good quality and easy to install.


More expensive than a bicycle computer but worth the extra IMO.
 
I must admit, the Acewell clocks look great, pricey though.

I've given up any thoughts on using a cable drive speedo.
