What $40 speedo?
I want to spend no more than $40 for a new speedo/computer. I prefer wireless, front wheel sensor mount, with speed, odo, trip, average, and clock. If it has more functions that is ok. Any sugestions?

Bikes: are better than yours.
There's a cheap electronics package that works well and is bundled into different casings and rebranded multiple ways. Here's two at Nashbar:

It works fine except that the historical max speed feature is prone to glitch and claim that at some point in the past you went 88mph.

On the low end, for $25 you can get the "db 4lw" from Performance.
I love being able to see speed, avg speed, distance, and time all on one screen, easy to read, easy to set up.
Its wireless.
I have had two of these and have never had any problems. I am still waiting for my current one to have the battery go out, its been in there almost three years now.
