None will work...

Your best solution is to fit a speedo healer (healtec) or re-fit standard sprockets.

What is the new size of the front sprocket?
I have read on the Stromtrooper site that changing from 15 tooth to a 16 tooth on the L2 - L6 should make the speedo speed more accurate but the trip meter mileage will be off.

However if you go to a 14 took front sprocket a speedo healer is the way to go.

front wheels from earlier models won't work, you'd have to change the forks too, but the wiring won't fit anyway.
that's if there isn't a difference with the signal sent to the clocks - so unlikely to work anyway.

healtech speedo healer.  :thumb:

I have one on the Varadero as I change the gearing on occasion - great bit of kit and simple to fit.
