They have digital tach's in Dennis Kirk ($142) and both in Rockymountainaatv catalog. Although I dont think they have speedos for the 350X in them :?

Adapt a digital bicycle speedo. Cheap and works well

i finally got one of those bike speedo's from wal-marts and added it to my 350x. sevral of you fellas tipped me off to the idea a couple of years ago here on the board. works like a champ ! had to get different magnet from the hard ware and play around with epoxy glues to hold magnet in place on the tire (lost a couple of magnets) but got it now.
just wish i could remove the shwin name off of it,,,,

One of the fuctions of most GPS units is speed. It communicates with the satellite to determine how fast you are moving.

Is the name just printed on the speedo or is it stamped on? you can try paint thinner to pull the paint off of it. Might take the shine off the plastic though so be careful.

I got a gps from walmart for 155.00, it works pretty good I just zip-tied it to my bars, its hard to read as you ride but works great for not getting lost in the dunes
