very cool stuff. i would not think that a bicycle speedo would work. so i never looked into one.
now i am going to mount one to my xf200 and the new 4wheeler i am planning on getting in the next few months. it also has no speedo/trip/clock.
exciting, very practicle, smart and cost effective. on top of that, no tools are required.
very good work forchetto. thank you.Simple XF200 Blog

Just a word of advice. I've been experimenting with one on my Qingqi, have found a couple of problems.
The first is that with upside-down forks there's very little choice of where to fit the sensor. On normal forks it can go in a number of positions on the slider, or static bit of the fork. On USD forks you'll find the stanchion, or moving part, gives very little choice. At the moment I'm fixing it to the plastic stanchion stone guards, but these vibrate and move a bit, so it interferes with the air-gap necessary between the magnet and sensor.
If you go for the wireless models, remember that the sensor needs a battery and it has to be replaced at intervals. This means extra expense and bother. Also, check that the transmitter can cope with at least a metre separation sensor-speedo. Some only go 70 cm and it's not enough for these long forks.
Wireless models are also a lot more expensive.Jincheng Monkey JC50Q-7
