Hi, I have decided that I need to add another speedo to my VT750. I find the original speedo very difficult to read especially if riding though a section of road with low speed corners. It is made worse by the fact that I wear a flip-face helmet which is thicker in the chin area.

Has anyone out there fitted a speedo to the handlebars or any advice on the best type to try?

I know some of you out there will say that you dont need to know what speed you are doing but I like to know my actual speed compared to the advised speed.
