Okay it might be a dumb question but how does the speedo on my phantom work? Theres no cables just wires so where does it pick up the speed? I'm wanting to run a different tank and aftermarket speedo. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe its got a revolution counter type on the transmission output/ drive shaft.

That makes sense.

How would I get a aftermarket speedo to work? Or am I sh-t out of luck?

You didn't go buy a Sportster yet?

Your speedometer is really just a volt meter. Pulses are counted and passed to a frequency-to-voltage converter. I recently discovered it too on my VTX. My first thought "OK, where's the cable?"

Pulses per miles...

I don't have any experience with motorcycle systems but the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) on automobiles have various ratings. On cars and trucks the range can be from 2000 to 44,000 pulses per mile. If this varies on bikes than it would be extremely important to make sure the speedo is compatible and/or adjustable.

Those GPS speedos at speedhut are made to install on a console. Anyone find or make an enclosure for one to use on a bike?

FI bikes might be tapping into the electronic module (whatever the term), the vehicle speed sensor signals (VSS), to operate the speedo.
