Digital Speedo from Triumph
Found a digital speedo from an (unknown) Triumph with an analogue dial.
https://www.ricardo.ch/accdb/viewItem.asp?IDI=532910414
I'd think to put it on a SRX6.
Is it usually possible to change wheel size on OEM speedos?
Are there maybe other electronic problems associated with swapping to other bike brand?
Thank's for any help in advance.

Re: Digital Speedo from Triumph
Wheel size is irrelevant for OEM electronic speedos as they tend to run from the gearbox or the front sprocket. Besides, how many road bikes run anything other than a 17" front?

Other than 17''?
The SRX for instance!

(Have a look at this marvelous motorbike)
If the speedo is to work from gearbox or front sprocket, it needs to know
gearbox and secondary transmission ratios as well as the gear selected...
Then I believe that 17"" refer to the rim size, so when I change it
(say from 100/80-18 to 100/90-18) I end with a bigger wheel?
Would this also affect the gearbox speedo?
Well I'm a bit puzzled
. But I conclude it's a bad idea to try to fit said speedo...

The speedo will work with the ECU and is most liklley not programmable

Almost as I guessed... 
No opinion concerning the SRX?
