200x Speedo Installed Finally...

**1DEADPRESIDENT** · 10-14-2005, 09:40 PM

Well here it is... I finished it last night and blasted down the driveway to try it out. I am thinking the useless e-brake cable needs to go. Still working on the correct length cable. This cost me $50.00 after collecting the remaining goodies.... Thanks to Mainetriker for the trade on the gearbox!

Is that one of those brackets I made ( yeah, poor memory ) ???

I don't think I have ever saw a 200x with a speedo mounted up before
(again ,,, every day is a new day with a poor memory

)

What top speed did you on it register 1DP ???

NICE! That cable doesn't look to bad... but didn't you get a cable with that 250es kit? That would be about the right lenth....

I would like to find one of those for my 200x too. Were did you come across that.

Speedo was an e-bay find. Cable was bought at my local Honda dealer. The gear box was a trade item, and the clamp was borrowed from a nos Hondaline tripmeter kit. Jes I have not got the speedo past 35mph yet. I am going to see what top speed I get this weekend. I think the cable looks pretty good and would look better if I had the loop for the fender like yours mainetriker....Oh well I still like it........

Top Speed was 48-49 mph. The rear tires are 20's and I could probably get a few more mph with the factory donuts on.

Of course with my younger brother on who weighs 160lbs it might do 55. It seems the older I get the bigger I get.

Now of course we have to calculate for the approximitly (sp?) 7% difference in the cablibration of the gearboxs...

The gearbox you're is using is calibrated for a 22" tire (I think) so the speed displayed will be less than what your actually doing... by about 7%.

49mph/.93 = 52.688 mph

Man, that's still slow though

What gearbox you have on there??? A 110/185/200 one?? I'm about 99% sure the 2 Left handed gearboxes I have "loose" are for a 23½" tire.

Hey Maine_triker wouldnt the speedo still read correctly as its taking the reading off the front wheel not the rear wheels

thats if the front is stock size tho

You misunderstood, it's the gearbox that's calibrated for a 22" tire, and a 200x front tire is 23.5".

Bruce: yes that is a 110/185/200 gearbox.

Ahhh DOH! brain block there

Slow or not I think its pretty good with a 6'5" 270 lb rider. I know now why the 86-87 are the most sought after, damn that 6th gear would be nice.
