Pointy speedo on a curvy

Will a pointy speedo fit a curvy?

If not is there a better speedo than the trail tech vapor as that looks a bit slow to respond.

Thanks

give TamSV a pm. he knows exactly how to wire an inexpensive and very small speedo on a curvy.

orrr why not just use a curvy one.

Stig put a pointy speedo on a curvy. It's not a straight swap - the wiring and functions aren't all the same so you would need to mess about with the wiring as well as fabbing a bracket for it (as you would with any aftermarket unit). IIRC speedo and main idiot lights were OK and fuel light worked to an extent but I think he had a problem with the tacho.

I've got an Acewell and everything works well after a bit of trial and error. Doesn't work with the standard SV speedo pick-up but I wasn't using that anyway.

What's up with the Trail Tech Vapor? Barwel had one on his pointy and recommended it.

Thanks for the responses guys.

The trail tech looked to have lag on a youtube clip I saw for the tachometer. If this is ok i would get it?

Rev counter seems to the thing that causes some problems with other clocks on SV's. I had some issues with mine jumping around and reading double although I seem to have solved it by rerouting the cable - I think it was picking up a double signal from somewhere.

Barwel also had some issues with the revs jumping but sorted it with a resistor from the manufacturer I think.

If accurate revs are the most important thing, you might be best sticking to OEM?

I have an Acewell on my curvy, using the original front wheel sensor - in fact I just wired it into the loom, the speed sensor outputs 4 pulses per revolution, so you have to set the wheel circumference to a quarter of what it actually is. Rev counter went a bit mad to start with, but adding a 1MOhm resistor in line sorted it (think that this was described in the manual - seem to remember manual was fairly good). Only thing that currently doesn't work is the fuel gauge, as the SV uses 2 thermistors as sensors for the idiot lights, whereas the Acewell expects to see a 100 Ohm variable resistor. When I can be bothered (and, as it's been maybe 4 years now, it's unlikely to be any time soon), I'll build a circuit using a couple of FETs (or relays) so I at least get some indication.
