I can't seem to find it either...I see that Amazon has many of the Koso speedos and the one that works with Harley sensor is there. I think the one that I used was not one for a universal pickup. My main reason for having a speedo was for odometer (to estimate fuel levels). This setup works, but I was never able to get an accurate speed from the unit....funny thing is that odometer still appears to be working great. One of these days, I will dig into it deeper. To domover, I would probably look fro a speedo that is similar size, but not Koso. In one of my posts I talked about there very limited ability to support me during the install.

I got my acewell from the UK last year and I just ordered a rear sensor for my acewell. The guy Craig in the UK is very helpfull and it only took about 5 days to get from the UK to NZ, $5 postage for the unit.

Does anyone have a solution for a fuel gauge. I have an Acewell but feel it wasted on the Trumpy as it has a fuel gauge but can't be hooked up.
Thoughts???

I really like the look of the Koso. What is the model number, and where is the best place to purchase? Do the sensor and magnets come with the speedo? If not, what are the part numbers and where is the best place to purchase these? Thanks for the help and the idea.

Information from Koso:
Question:
I would like to purchase one of your speedometers for my Triumph Bonneville America. I have been told by another owner that the following model works flawlessly on his bke:
Speedometer GP Style
SPEED/ODO
round
d=55
160 kmh (white fill
Product No.: BB551W10
I do not see this product available in the US, and I want a speedometer that reads MPH instead of KPH. What model would work for me?
Answer:
Hello Mat
Thanks for your interest in our products. Unfortunately, we do not carry this model of instrument in North America. On the other side, we do make a similar instrument in MPH with indicator lights. The parts number is BB641B34. This item is in stock and you can find it on our website at www.kosonorthamerica.com
Regards
Pascal
Question 2:
Is there any functional difference between this model and the HD model BB551B40? Is the HD model adjustable for tire size to make it work for a different bike?
Answer 2:
Yes there is. The BB641B34 does have some indicator light while the BB551B40 do not have any. No the HD model only pick up the speed on the transmission. For this reason the BB551B40 can’t be adapt to other motorcycle. On the other side, the BB641B34 pick up the speed on the wheel and can be adapt to any motorcycle or tire size.
This might help with why the speed has not been reading accuratly on some of the Koso speedometers.

Koso does have one available in the US through:
http://www.kosonorthamerica.com/
The item number is: BB641B34
I ended up ordering the Acewell 2853 with Ace-S4 cable drive adapter to read using the stock speedometer cable. I like the look of the Koso, but it sounds like there have been less issues with the Acewell and I like the idea of still having a tach. I ordered the acewell from:

I think you'll really like the Acewell, Mathew. Will you mount it in the dash?
