[QUOTE="Shadowman, post: 33885, member: 162"] I had one on my Rapide. I set it to show KPH so when I'm travelling outside the UK I don't need to work out my speed. It also had a handy clock built in. It lasted a couple of years and died after I rode through a nasty thunder storm which also left the 5 inch speedo with half an inch of water in the bottom and my saddle bags half full. For three or four UK pounds I bought another after trying the high tech wireless version which saw the pulses from my magneto and worked better as a rev counter so that one is on my bicycle now. There are so many available and they are all cheap. Some get confused after about 50 mph so if yours does that then just go out and buy a different one. One thing I do to make the setup easier is not to use the magnet which comes with it but use a powerful rare earth magnet which can be much further from the receiver and still be detected. (I just epoxy glued it to the rim) [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
