How do you fix them?

I bought drilled ones and bolted them into the front disc rivets.

I just stuck them to the disc with magnetism for now- that works up to 100, haven't tested it past that. But with my Veypor, I did the same with a dab of superglue and it was rock solid.

Nah, the sensor for mine works and it's been modded to work with the rear wheel relocate, so I'll probably take off all the modded bits and stick 'em on Ebay as a kit ;)

Awh no pics!
When I get home I don't mind adding pics of mine. Because I didn't upgrade the magnets I was very limited as to where I could place them. (they're currently not very good with tape but loathe to change it as it works at the moment.
Even placement of the 4 magnets is really not necessary as I have 5 magnets on mine, one doesn't work (but I can achieve 150mph on my SV! :lol:) but it still reads quite smooth.
As to the speedo error, compared with a GPS I found that moving the speedo to a 120/70 made it more accurate, now it's on a 160/60 it is almost perfect but if anything definetely reads a higher speed than lower, i.e. safe

got 2 speedo sensors - one complete with broken magnets (21Quests' if he wants it back before I give it away :D) & mine with good magnets but cut cable.

2 of them fell off on tuesday, on a trackday :rolleyes: So glue them on- official. Luckily they didn't ping out the back and banjo the guy behind me...

OK, here goes!

Have successfully transplanted front speedo drive to rear wheel and works fine. Have no pics at present but will post some later (If I can! I'm OK in the workshop, not too hot on the PC thingy).

Method is pretty easy. Need a bit of milling on the rear caliper hanger (about a fiver at a decent local machine shop). a piece of aluminium plate about 2-3mm thick and just 3mm bigger than the outside diameter of the rear bearing, a good hacksaw/files/plasters and a bit of patience. Sound good?

Well, the fitted part looks to all intents and purposes as though Suzuki meant it to be:D

I'll post drawings with dimensions when I get a chance.

Regards

Rich:cool:
