I had a sigma bc1400 on my zx9r race bike.. I'm currently in the process of hooking it up to the 7 but the magnet needs reaplacing.
If you want to use em for accurate speed whilst moving, forget it. The display reads a little to slow for fast accelarating bikes (having said that your Suzuki may be ok :D ). Its really only good for recalling top speeds, trip distances, times and the like... It is more accurate than a speedo though and the Sigma is good for 299kph...

Because he's a geek and can do such things? Heck we have a member here in Vic with a GPS and water bottle mount on his bike...

They come with a speed sensor & instructions. The rectangle one is about 150mm x 80mm x 25mm & the round one is 63mm Diameter.
