Actually, the most optimistic speedo readings tend to come from japanese bikes. Harley's should have very accurate guages and it should be reading 65 mph when the bike is going 64 mph (very close). The ICM reflash will fix everything.

So if i reflash, will i end up putting stock calibation in my new module? i really don't have a major problem with speedo error, just want to keep local law from stroking me a ticket .Or if 1 of you could tell me rpm's at 55 mph. Don't have a tach yet but i do have a hand held tach that i could dial in exact speedo error. thanks.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Do NOT reflash vehicles that have been modified with Screamin’ Eagle ignition modules.
Screamin’ Eagle Pro ignition race tuner maps will be rewritten to the OE calibration.
