So this film works with just an electric current passing through it?

It sounds like he is going to mount the sensor on the axle and use the built in computer to calculate the speed. As long as you can iput the diameter of the tire accurately it should work.

Ya that would work, so it must just use a magnetic transducer. I'd think about using the vss pulse, divide it with an ic to what it needs and adjust the signal for the input. That way you'd have the best of both worlds. Hope the pickup is a hall effect switch and not a reed switch. It will not last at the speeds of an axle otherwise.

yes iam using the Magnet + Sensor system of the Display.
i also thought of using the VSS but , iam running on 225/55 R16 and if u can see in my Tire / Speed table
www.format-service.de/trannyspeeds.htm the tach has a big variance to the standard 215/60 R14 and this is no linear variance so that u could set the speedoneedle just 10kmh forward .
I think i will test fit the gauges this afternoon (plasmafolia worked , i tested alrdy )
I will change the inner instrumentcluster vs st. like this http://www.tuningforyou.de/...b2cf7b48545bc7467c96
and move the displays so that i get space for a lil TFT in the middle for a front camera with IR Mode and a rear cam.[This message has been edited by Fieromaniac (edited 04-12-2007).]

yes you can put in the Circumference in Millimeters
here is the page of the producer

This is a very cool idea and opens up a lot of possibilites. 
You might be able to rig the cadence to operate as the tach by putting a sensor on the harmonic balancer. I could probably think of 10 other uses for the bike computer given time, this is awesome.

Fuel and coolant Temp done , getting switches for the Displayfunctions and a new 7.12 MHz Quarz for the 240 Kmh scale

i think ill integrate more digital stuff
digital water and volt gauge is already ordered . thats the way it could look
