Baja Designs Speedometer I was helping a friend buy a used bike. We looked at a nimble Suzuki street bike (this was a while ago and I've forgotten the model) that was going for cheap because it had a sordid past. At some point the speedometer had been cracked off of it. I took it for a test ride and had a good time on the spritely, little machine. Without the speedometer I had a habit of going, as my friend said, stupid fast.

A decent speedometer isn't expensive and can prevent speeding tickets, not to mention the fact that it'll provide a needed spark of reality in the ether of your highway "high." I need boundaries and reference points, or I will get myself into trouble.

Baja Designs sells a basic analog speedometer at a basic price. We are not talking about anything fancy. The Baja has a tripmeter, odometer and, of
course, its 2.5 inch display is backlit. This speedometer is only designed for Japanese bikes with 21 inch front wheels and OEM odometer cables, but if you meet those criteria, it has a universal mounting bracket.

The only thing I demand of my speedometer is an accurate reading of my miles per hour. The scale on the Baja reads up to 160 mph, so we can now throw my earlier talk of boundaries out the window.
