gotta the new toy installed. started following the directions mounting the wheel sensor mounting on the left side and kept staring at it and the motorcycle picture trying to figure out why it wasn't mentally adding up. bike = pickup outside, magnet inside. my setup is just the opposite Since I'd already welded the magnet tube to the stud, I just swapped hubs side to side and used a piece of angle for the pickup.

used the kit's bar mount for the main unit for now. will be making a housing to set it above my horn button and closer to me.

verified my wheel circumference both by height and rolling diameter.

a tiny bit of lag, but way better than the tiny tach knock off.

Figured out one thing--I can't get over 29 mph around my yard unless i overcome some major cornering pucker factor

I was able to discover that the engine revs way more than i thought and that First runs to about 12 mph, Second to about 21 and 3rd to about 29 4th and 5th will have to wait til i have somewhere to run it out ....
