Thanks K.
Yes, the Veypor kit only comes with one magnet and had been an original consideration for my retro but for that fact - the multiple magnets increase the response time, especially for the gear shift indicator which is already slow with even 6!
There is a minor oscillation of the needle at slow speeds but nothing offensive - this speedo gauge really needs the larger number of triggers to dampen it so glad incorporated the gear indicator.

Your Veypor obviously includes the gear indicator built-in - how fast do you find it responds after shifts?
Mine is quite a few seconds in the lower gears, progressively quicker in 4-6 due to higher wheel speed.
If yours operates similarly, you could also add additional trigger magnets & re-calibrate on the new number, which would improve the reaction time.
