Here is what the info presents, it is essentially an adapted voltmeter which translates pulses into a speedo reading very much like the digital gizmo on a bicycle with a magnet on the wheel and a "reed contact" as the sensor.
The reed switch closes as the magnetic field becomes strong enough and opens when the lower threshold is reached, it's a switch.
and this unit operates completely independent of the original cb1100 instrument cluster.
The pdf wants you to connect the "speed sensor" between positive and the orange input wire;

But the website indicates to connect between GROUND and the orange input wire;
This video also suggests to use orange and ground;

So you have to test the version that works for you, quick way to test the speedo is to pretend you are the wheel and present the magnet to the sensor twice per second and watch the speedo respond, once the system works install the sensor/magnet in a place where it works best.
