glad to see another one coming along!
how you like that drill press btw? i've been meaning to get one, and i see a box in one of your pics, so i gotta ask.

The drill press is good, not great since the vertical travel is only about 2 inches or so, but it certainly does the job for most things. It has 5 speeds and a sturdy construction. Paid 65$ on liquidation special, a steal!how you like that drill press btw? i've been meaning to get one, and i see a box in one of your pics, so i gotta ask.
**Spoiler alert** I bought it to use in my build since I imported the most bad a$$ exhaust from Japan. It had reducers tack welded in the collector pipes. But a rotary file mounted on that drill took care of some serious welds. For the price, it's a great tool.
Did I mention I got a package from Italy...? More pics added to build thread.

If you are talking about the black naked SV with N gauges; a machined a bracket to hold a hall effect sensor was installed between the fender and the fork, and the OEM speedo sensor wiring was hacked and the wires matched up to provide the pulses to the gauge. This setup worked with 4 evenly spaced rare earth magnets placed in the rotor buttons on the GSXR rotors.
Problem solved.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. What was the process for designing the bracket? Did you just draw it out and take it to a machine shop? I've seen some pretty shoddy looking hall effect brackets around and I like your solution on the Naked the best.If you are talking about the black naked SV with N gauges; a machined a bracket to hold a hall effect sensor was installed between the fender and the fork, and the OEM speedo sensor wiring was hacked and the wires matched up to provide the pulses to the gauge.

The hall effect sensor bracket was designed by the machinist. He measured the spacing required between fork and rotor. But more importantly, he designed the bracket to allow for some lateral sensor adjustment (closer or farther from the rotor). That way you can fine tune the sensor's "pick-up" range. I'll try to get a picture up soon.
**Edit for pic***
Here you can see the bracket which has the hole drilled and tapped to align with the rotor buttons. It has two stems which bolt on to the main bracket and are used to secure the bracket to the front fender mounts found on the fork lowers. Simple but effective, and hidden under the fender.
