Default Electronic speedo conversion.

Can anyne help?
I've changed the front end of my sporty to the wider Night Train front end but I am now left with the speedo dilemma. My old front end had the old wheel drive system but this one won't take it. The only way around I can see is to go for an Electronic one, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the new Sporty's have the electonic type, can I convert my old 94 Sporty to be electronc and if so how do I it?

The new Sporty's do have electronic speedo, but I suspect the conversion would be quite involved. As I understand it, there are at least one and possibly two computer modules involved in that total system.
