84 GPZ 550 speedo ratio

Anyone know the ratio for my bike . I need a speedo and a cable not sure what to buy

I've been trying to confirm this but have not yet, I *think* most of our bikes take a 2240:60 ratio speedo. I replaced mine a while back and used a 2240:60 and it works perfectly.

Do you want to go with an aftermarket or oem speedo? It looks like there are a few GPZ speedos on ebay right now.

BTW, Whenever I hear GPZ I think of Lou Reed…..That GPZ ran so good I could just kiss her. Music doesn’t get much better than that.

Thanks for the reply. I will use aftermarket. I had the idea to use my GPS as a speedo I already have one and it tells MPH I have two bikes so I interchange when needed.

Yea, I thought about going the GPS route myself but was worried about it getting stolen.

I picked up one of these 2240:60 speedos.....

...but being the cheap guy I am, I found one on fleabay for $20. The funny thing about this one is that is goed up to 160 mph. Yea, in my dreams!

Thanks for the reply. My Garmin Nuvi 205 snaps out of its mount so you can stick it in your pocket when away from the bike. Just a thought.

I used to like that too, but lately he's been singing "Harley" instead of "GPZ". What a sellout.
