Eric,
When I bought the e-map I also bought the handlebar mount that has a quick
release. I removed the bottom half of the mount and screwed the top half (the
half with the quick release for the e-map) to a home made bracket. The bracket is
a piece of aluminum bent in a "U" shape. The bracket raps around right side if
the fork yolk. I had to do some filing to get it to fit perfect. Over the winter
I plan on making something that looks a little better.
As for the bicycle computer go to http://home.rmi.net/~frechett/bikecomputer.html
or click on the link below. Basically you need a Sigma 700. The Sigma has the
top end that you need, most bicycle computers don't go above 80 mph, I think the
Sigma goes to 180 mph.
It's powered by a small battery and the way it works is there is a small magnet
that you mount on your front brake disk. A magnetic pickup mounted to your fork
sends the signal to the computer via a wire (the wire may have to be lengthened
depending on where you mount the computer). Again I made a tiny bracket out
aluminum and mounted it to the left handlebar, using the the top bolt on the
clutch mounting clamp.
Cost -> about $30
Where can you get one -> any decent bicycle shop
The mounting of both of these item is a little hard to describe in words so
Saturday I will try to borrow a digital camera and upload some pictures, but don't
hold your breath. If you need more detailed info I will be happy to oblige.
