Hi, my bike's speedo is pretty inaccurate and was wondering if anyone had used a bicycle speedo on their motorbike? I've been looking at some on Trademe but the sellers don't know if they will work on a motorbike.
Cheers.

Get a GPS perhaps

Yes, I do on both my road bikes and they are accurate compaired to GPS. I use the Echowell brand sold by Bike Barn shops. Very reliable. Only small issue is they only read up to 199kph.
Im getting one for my motocross bike next.

I have a gps already but its a bit of a hassle to keep attaching it and removing from my bike.

You can use both wireless and wired ones. I prefer wired ones. You also get average speed, max speed etc.

They should all work theoretically. You would have to take particular care to set it up properly, cuz I don't think you'd be getting +200 on your 550.

Jam and tarts....
The only thing to consider is lighting it for night riding. I was thinking of going with one on my bike, but to get a nice one with temp/idiot lights in it is over $100USD (Koso make some nice ones and there are a few retro style gauges out there too)
Alloy, stainless and Ti polishing.
Bling your bike out!
