Valk/Schwinn
Speed Computer
By: Ross Spoonland
I installed a
Schwinn SC-8 bike computer on my Valkyrie to give me some additional trip
information. The SC-8 displays the following: mph, distance, clock, odometer,
riding time, average speed, max speed. It is easily calibrated and is capable
of displaying triple digits.
Since this
computer is designed for bicycles with spokes I had to modify the magnet mount.
I used a small piece of strapping drilling two appropriate sized holes
chamfering the hole for the magnet screw. The shank of the magnet where the
screw screws into also had to be cut down to provide the proper clearance
between the magnet and pickup sensor.
The instrument
head mounts easily to the handle bar with an adjustable clamp. MPH is displayed
continuously on the upper portion while the other readings are scrolled to by
pressing the button and are displayed below in smaller digits.
I chose
to mount the pickup sensor with a heavy nylon tie strap...could use epoxy for
a cleaner look.
