I bought a trike with a Harley front end. How do I put a speedometer on my trike?
Thanks

You can use a front wheel that has a speedo drive in the hub.

If it has an IRS, you can mount a chopper wheel on a CV joint and use it with a magnetic speed pick up.

The easiest method may just be a GPS speedo

302,

I just today received my new GPS speedo for my custom trike project. It's from Speedhut. Has a 15' long GPS receiver antenna lead that I have to hide. Very cool lighting with a dedicated power inverter (3/4" x 1/2") for the lighting that makes it bright white in daylight and cool blue at night. Wires into the key switch. Has a "Max Speed Recall" function, not that I will ever use that...

Check out Speedhut.com
