anyone know what the ratio is for a stock speedo on the BA's?
i just picked up a custom chrome(?) mini speedo for $35.00 and if it is the one i see in the online catalog it is 1:1.
will i have problems replacing it?

TIA,

No, but there are other mini speedos that are the correct ratio.

I ditched my speedo when it stopped working at 26000ks. I bought a Drag Specs mini speedo ( 2240:60 ) with a billit mount, drilled and tapped a hole in my handlebars and mounted it directly to the bars for a clean, compact look. I had to have the cable lengthened which caused a headache until i discovered that the fitting at the wheel end is the same as on Kabyto lawn tractors. Done 3800 miles so far without dramas.
