Anyone mount one on a Uly? I just picked up a sigma BC 5006. I have put them on other bikes i have owned and would be great on the Ulysses so can have a clock and odometer ( plus a very accurate speedo) without having to scroll through the multi function one on the Buell.
I usually just mount the sending unit on the fork tube and put a rare earth magnet on the rim or brake caliper.
Well the Uly has upside down forks so you can not put a sensor there and no real place to put the magnet. I was just checking it out quickly before going to work and wasn't able to come up with a way to mount it. So has anyone figured it out?

if you go back into the archives of joesbuell xb conversion project, he put his on the rear wheel for his set up that he did. very professional for a guy over in the land of oz with limited immediate resources.

I got a Veypor VR2 on my bike, I need to take some better photos, but I got the sensor line running down the swing arm under the hugger, going to right below the axel on the brake rotor side. I have the magnet mounted on the brake rotor right between the screws and the axel.

Here is a pic of my old setup, i ended up moving it, this was my prototype : )

Good ideas. My cable is not long enough for the back wheel and I never had any luck in splicing the tiny wires. I think I figured out a way to mount it up front. I can put the magnet on the rotor behind the button and mount the pick up behind the fork guard and run the line up the brake line.

Good luck with your setup. Here is a few more of mine to give you ideas, incase you can't get the front to work.
