Just wondering if anyone out there knows if the Bonnie speedo works with the speedmaster setup as I am thinking of getting a bracket made up for a bonnie speedo and fit in on the Speedmaster.

Speedometers are calibrated to specific tire circumferences, if you can find and mount a front tire to your Spdy that is the same actual circum. as a Bonnie, than you can assume an accurate readout at travel. To answer your question, research Bonnie as built Specs. and find out if the front tire is similar in size and your query will be resolved. I was able to use a TBS 17 inch front wheel and maintain a factory ratio by mounting a fat 130/90-17 tire, the circum. of the tire worked out to 3/8ths of an inch less than the OEM 18 incher and my speedo reads out close enough for me. If you want perfection though, go get an Acewell electronic.

If possible try to get the speedo of a thruxton - it has an 18incher frontwheel.

just go to the dealer and measure the front tire , might be hard with the fender so you could measure the radius and then measure the radius on your bike. If they are the same the reading should be correct. As far as mounting goes that you would have to do, might have to make a mount might not.

There some adapters out there that will let you connect an analog speedo to a digital sensor (Magnet sensor).
