                    Installation as easy as A-B-C. Had to find a decent magnet to replace the magnet that came with the sigma, as I found the distance between the sensor and magnet very less.

                    Also got rid of the 3 piece handle bar and bolted on a Fury handle bar.

                    Took the bike out to test if the sigma worked. Guess what, it does. Couldnt find a good patch of empty road though.

                    Some pics
                    I have bought a cheap one and the magnet is to be placed 5mm apart max from the sensor and since I have alloy wheels, I am scratching my head how to do it.
                    Please help
