What's the purpose of this... Smaller gauges? Modern gauges? Adding functions?
I'll just do what I have done before... Go budget style and swap to a CBR gauge...

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but Justin sounds a little like a spambot.
My GPS watch gives speed, average speed, distance... It's small enough so that it fits between the risers on the triple. It's rechargeable, waterproof and has a back light, too. I'll take some pictures if you're interested.

It's been working out ok. I think it's probably as accurate a speedo as you can get and I used to use it when I jogged and rode my bike. (I'm so slow on the bike right now that I really don't want specifics.)

It is a bit much as a watch, but it straps to just about anything. (I come from a time when big-a$$ watches with calculators and Space Invaders were consider high-geek cool) I have used it to geocache yet, but it looks like you can plug the info, too.
It is much, much lighter than the stock clocks and the mounting bracket.

Hey Eric,
I think it was a Garmin Forerunner 101. Make sure you can recharge it. I was running a battery unit on the Buell and it sucked to have to change the AAA batteries everytime I was a bonehead and left the thing on

So I guess this speedometer won't work either: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Koso gauges use a magnet and a pickup to measure speed. So you may even be able to use the stock speed pickup and adjust the "tire diameter" setting on the gauges.
However for the price, I'd rather buy some CBR gauges.

Would a Speedohealer help or throw off the Koso setup?

With the Koso Speedo, you actually input a tire diameter based on whatever size tire you're running, so it is in fact adjustable. It then calculates your speed based off how fast the magnet passes by the magnet.
What I did was put my GPS on my bike and adjusted it until I got the same speed as my GPS was displaying. Worked pretty well.
