It doesn't hurt to have a backup. A wheel sensor type speedo will have a magnet attached somewhere ie brake rotor, and there will be a calculation needed for overall diameter or circumference of the tire to be programmed into the brain. When finished you'll want to compare it to a known working speedo. If you have a smartphone you can mount to the bars somewhere, download a Speedometer app and just use that. Re the factory speedo, they are known to give trouble. Be certain your cable is working 100%. Not in a bind, plenty of lube, and not damaged -outer or inner. The connections at the speedo and at the angle drive. does anyone have a quick link to the St. Vitus Dance on the forum?

No. I have used a Vapor multi gauge dash for another bike. The sigma looks like it uses a wheel sensor like the vapor. It probably works ok but looks don't match the elegance of the V11. I'm guessing your speedo gave out. What's it doing?

I have found that tech shop personnel respond well to 'engaged' clientele with clean projects. It presents a sign of respect. They will like you Tom ..

how it looks (without adapter) overlaid on a stock 2003 hanger for comparison let me know if I have forgotten anything. measurements are not 'machinist' accurate, but it'll get you there
-
pencil outline of adapter and how it sits when combined left hole to right top hole is 70mm, or same as mount bracket welded to the frame left hole to right bottom hole is 60mm or the same as the high mount bracket right bottom hole to right top hole is 23mm, which gives the desired angle. adapter is 6mm flat steel. the cool cutaway at the bottom is for looks and not needed.

silver is from an early (94-99) Sport, next to the Ti kit installed, with adapter
-
Here are the Ti kit hangers assembled with adapters. the welded on nut is not necessary, just convenient
-
I have an outline of the adapter in the shop. Will post it this eve. Flat, 1/4” steel
-
Yes. they used the hangers from the 94-99 1100 Sport, with an extra flat bracket used to get the correct angle. I can give more detail when I get back home this evening. I had a set of those and they were the same as came with the Ti kit.

Small air compressors.

That looks really good E. Your review makes it even better. A brief look over at Thumper Talk shows a lot of fans of the Slime pumps -

Oh Ok. I use air compressors professionally and they have a collecting tank. I've always called those little ones electric air pumps, or tire inflators. I've never owned one. I'll bet the Enduro guys have some trick ones, as they often deflate tires for off road and reinflate for the road home. -

I have two sill in service Emglo portable compressors. Purchased in the late 80's. Seems they are no longer made under that name. Built heavy and work great. I wouldn't fear looking for a used one. I bought a couple of cheap Fini compressors awhile back. The one for my girl to fill her tires still works. The other one failed early. Some additional info, may be helpful. https://www.portlandcompressor.com/compressor/Jenny/
