Hey Banshee, The fittings fit. Same threads as the original speedo. No mods necessary.
The previous owner took off the shocks and welded a plate on each side from the frame to the swingarm. not too pretty but the saddle bags hide it. Some pics posted here.

So was it the 2240:60 ratio? I only asked because I just installed an aftermarket and it must be a 1:1 ratio. I was showing 80mph but probably going half that, and the OD read 3.2 mile and I was a mile or so away from house at most. Anyway time to ebay that one and get a correct ratio speedo.

what about your wheel size? it also needs to be the same size as the donor bikes.
