I just got my new Givi windshield ordered from helmetheadcycle.com. It should be here next week. I excited to ride in the cold,lol.

Well I got my new sigma bc 506 bike speedo today. I got it all hooked up and it works great. I did have to lengthen the wires out a bit because they were too short. I can now go faster than 50mph. my wind shield is expected here friday.

Any pics of the install or the results?

[thetucks]

I didnt take any pics while installing it. here are a couple after i was done. I removed the panel under the steering to run the wire down. it had 2 screws on top and 1 on bottom. then it pulled right out. I unscrewed the handlebar mount off the back of the bicycle speedo so it would have a flatt back. when you take the mount off it leaves a big hole in the middle so i took a small piece of plastic and screwed it on the back using the screws and holes already there. then I put velcro on there and the scooter to mount it right in the middle of the panel. It is the perfect spot to see. I then ran the sensor down and zip tied the wire so it would not get caught on anything. I had to splice a wire into the existing wire because it was not long enough to reach the bottom front wheel. I used the magnet that I already had by drilling a hole in the front rotor. The magnet has a screw and nut that you can mount it. so I put it through the small hole I drilled and put the nut to hold it tight. I then used the 2 rubber bands that came with the new sensor to hold the sensor on the inside of the fork. I had to use both because the fork is so big around. it hold pretty whell but I took some puddy like jbweld and put it on both sides of the sensor and holding the fork so if the bands break or slip the sensor is still held in place. On my scoot the front cover is over the forks so it covers all this up and is never seen. here is a couple pics. if I get time tomorrow I will take the cover off so you can see how I mounted the sensor on the fork. I hope this was helpful. I know i kind of rambled on.

you know I live only 2 minutes from the water and yet I have never been fishing on grand lake. Ive been out on a boat and jetskis a few times over the past 7 years but thats it. It seems I never have time. oh yeah i did take my little girl swimming last year.

I believe I am going to add one of these to my Shen. The current speedo is both difficult to read and inaccurate. This looks like a very elegant solution.

Was it difficult to calibrate?

I got my new givi d258st windshield in today. I just had to rush home from work to put it on. what do you guys think?

dugglebogey.... these bike speedos are easy to calibrate. you just have to find out how many mm your tire is. what I did was mark a line on the tire and on the floor. then roll the scoot until the line is strait on the bottom closest to the floor again. then mark the floor again there. then I move the scoot and measured between the 2 marks. I got 59 inches. and there are 25.4mm in 1 inch so i multiplied the 59x25.4=1498.8. so I just set the calibrate setting to 1499. piece of cake.
