Once in awhile I see people asking about speedometers. Anyone ever consider using a bike speedometer? The only downfall is that mine doesn't have a back light. But I don't ride at night that much. My speedometer has 8 functions- speedometer, top speed, avg. speed, odometer, trip distance, clock, trip time, and scan. All for 20$, and its very accurate. It mounts by the light switch and I can reach it without taking my hands off the bars. It's also very visible while riding.

 

yes everyoen has thougth of the bike speedo.. but one thing they dont last! they might say waterproff but they are truly waterproff likemy trail tech speedo... they may say trail tech for a bike speedo but they arent waterproff so after u buy more and more after they break at 20$$ or 10 a peice for the computer thing... its better to buy the better in the long run

 

2000IAWarrior,
Not everyone has thought of a bike speedo. Alot of people may not even realize you can use a bike speedo on an atv. My speedo has lasted for over a year now going through worst rain & snow storms than a mail carrier will even deliver in anymore and it still works fine. So, I don't think I will have to buy more and more. I was directing this toward the people that want a speedo but can't or don't want to spend $80. on a speedo.
You have a right to your opinion and if it makes you feel better spending 3/4 more than you had to.
Then I hope you feel better.
I'm sure the Trail Tech is a fine speedo and that light makes it definitely worth an extra $60. It does have a nice mounting and it looks cool.

 

Before I'd buy a speedo for $80-$100 I'd get a cheap GPS for the same money. A yellow E-trex can he found many places for $99 and you get a lot more than just a speedo.
