86 VS700 Speedo Ratio
Good day! Been scouring around and for the life of me, I can't find what the speedo ratio is for an 86 Intruder 700. Unfortunately, don't have a lift at the moment to unhook the cable & spin the front tire. Really would like to replace stock speedo with a smaller Drag Speciality. The only thing I could remotely find is that j&p cycles say a 2:1 ratio would fit the bike but I am a bit hesitant to trust this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Acewell makes programmable speedometers for motorcycles. Many models.
You place a sensor on the front wheel and calibrate the unit to the front tire circumference.
