fire blade speedo

Hi everyone

I am trying to get my speedo working on my fireblade 919. the wires are wired through to the engine bay but no sensors. obviously the orignal sensor won't work because of the difference of the car diff gearing. i heard of people using abs sensors on the sproket from the drive but haven't got a clue as to what to do or get for this.
it sounds silly but if i buy a orignal fireblade speedo. if i changed the background of the speedo clock and calibrate it with a sat nav would that work ????

ABS sensor, 9 magnets on the prop with 185/60/13 tyres, 3.62 diff ratio works for me.

The ABS sensor needs to be very close!!!

Cheers mate
it sounds so easy. if i just wire any working abs sensor on a bracket over the prop shaft with 9 magnets and get it as close as i can together (do they need to be equally spaced?) i.ll give it a go. is there any perticular abs sensor to use,
