First off, how the h3ll do you mount the stupid speedometer cable and bracket!!! I took the wheel off and couldnt figure it out.

Also, where can i get the wire to extend the air temp sensor wire from my motor to my buggy? The one for the water temp isnt the same, and i dont want to cut my wires apart.

trailtech.net has the wire extenders

also, you might have to make a mount because i have tried to mount it too but it wont work for me

ORK, I think the easiest way is to mount it by the sprocket. Drill a hole in the sprocket and JB Weld the magnet in. Shouldn't be to hard to fabricate a bracket for the pick up. As for mounting the computer what you want to do is put the large bar clamp in your left hand and the small clamp and the straight plastic piece in right. Look at them closely to make sure they are all right side up. Then VERY CAREFULLY walk over to the trash can and through them in. Then make a bracket out of aluminum strap. How you fab it will depend on where you want to place it. I made this one in about 10 mins (and it shows!) One of these days I'll make a "pretty" one, but for now I just painted it red. For what Trail Tech wants for the extensions you might just as well cut the wires. Cheapest speaker wire you can find is all you need to splice in. The wire Trail Tech supplies is an unbelievably small guage.

You'll probably need a couple of the temp sensor wires since they are only 24". The speed sensor wire is 60"

Assuming you need 3 temp extensions and can get by w/ 1 speed sensor extension, that's 32.80 plus tax and shipping vs 2 bucks worth of carefully soldered speaker wire.

hmmm.... But how exactly do i get the speedo cable to mount right there?

Has ANYONE gotten it by the wheel? I mean, i know talonman did, but he dissapeared for hibernation again, drinking diet coke and playing the guitar.

Ill have to go look in his album again.

Just bend up a piece of metal and drill holes where you need them. Here's 2 different ways to do it.

Ryan, you can buy some aluminum strap at Home Depot or Lowes and just bend it around and drill your holes. Then attach it and you're all done. By the way, you may get dirty doing all this work and by no means don't go working up a sweat.
