I am new to the Harley scene and need some help. I picked up a torn down 91 sportster 883 and I am rebuilding it. I have a new gas tank with the speedometer mount on the tank. I need to get the speedometer and do not know the ratio for it. Can anyone help? I appreciate it.

What size wheel do you have on the front?

 

I can't remember if the speedo is wheel or tranny driven on that bike. If it is wheel driven ratios are as follows

16" & 21" wheel = 2240:60

19" wheel= 2:1

Some tranny drives use a 1:1 ratio but I am not sure about your bike

 

Funny thing is... Most will say the for superglued came stock with a 2:1 ratio however I just pulled my STOCK gear from the bike and it is a 2240:60 so I fought gear ratios on my aftermarket speedo for a while because I assumed it had a 2:1 ratio when in fact it was 2240:60
