Airhead speedometer failure
The speedo for my 1986 R80 is bouncing around above about 50mph and showing as if I were doing around 160mph. I know what you must be thinking - the R80 is good. it is good, but not that good.
So I am entering the world of second hand speedo and there is a variety to choose from but none with the right ratio - 737 (it reads it km/h) - and certainly none that are at a reasonable price. So I am thinking of going down the replacement route and getting a digital speedo / tacho combo from Motorworks - specifically an Acewell-258 speedometer/multifunction computer with S11 2 valve gearbox sensor (£110). I am not after original looks but a functional motorbike. I could carry on with the speed as it is but at some point it is really going to give up the ghost.
Does anyone have any experience of the Acewell unit? Tips etc.
TIA
