SV GSXR front end conversion

A mate of mine has an SV with a total front end rebuild and she isn't sure how to get the speedo to work. I think it runs off the wheel on the SV? Any suggestions?

Yea, it runs off the front wheel on the SV. The problem is getting a magnet strong enough to pass a signal to a sensor. Yorkie_Chris recommends using hall-effect sensors or something...PM him and ask him, he knows alot about this

a mate eh?! lol

not me ..... who is this other fella NS ?

dangerous dave knows of an option to run the standard speedo off of the rear wheel for the earlier sv60's, it only requires an alteration to the rear caliper mounting bracket and a cheap ducati part.

But, the man hasn't posted in a looooooonnnnnnnng time.

Go to Northwinds profile and search for a thread he started about it, unless I find it first.

good point, i thought he was back. my son has his setup on his curvy, it might be worth dismantling and taking some pictures of it for the techies on here to decipher

mine is still working perfectly although the magnets appear to have corroded a little but that doesnt affect the operation. That front end swap is such a great mod to make especially if you know that you are gonna be keeping the bike for a while

yeah i was looking at that last night... i didnt realise it was as common as it is! sure ill order the parts i need and then give it a whack! im not the worst with the tools so we'll see how it goes!
