nah but i can describe it, the pickup is on the lowerhalf of the fork and the magnet bolt is through a slip on the disc brake. it doesnt line up parallel and is on an angle but it was workin fine. have u ever herd of anything like this happening ben? tacho stopped picking up a signal too, weird

Check the sensor position needs to be like this

because the tach isn't working either it sounds like you could have a dodgy (earth) wire somewhere.

Those magnets on diugital speedos are very sensitive to spacing as well. They really need to be set spot on distance wise. just a mm made all the difference with mine.

Head down to Jaycar and get some earth magnets (very magnetic), stick em on with some epoxy. It should help you out.
