So it looks like I will need to purchase this speedo wire and a magnet before the speedo and trip are back working again. Thanks for the picture wwguy, very helpful.
Just to check, where would this plug into once I have bought the wire? It might be pretty obvious, but the amount of times I have looked for a connector assuming it is going to be obvious and it's not is incredible. Especially on a bike that looks like it was modified for hard enduros like mine seems to have been.
The pickup and wire is called a 'reed' for some reason. We have those and the magnet, washer, and circlip needed in stock. If the wire is missing completely you likely also need some of the plastic clips that lash the speedo wire to the front brake line.
