KPH Speedometer 2007 FXDWG
Uncle Sam is shipping me to Germany so I thought I would post to see if anyone has a KPH speedometer for sale that fits a 2007 Wide Gldie. Hopfully not costing an arm and a leg.

I don't have one but like to do calculations in my head while riding. Just multiply the KPH by 0.62 (or 0.6 to be simpler). You could also divide the KPH by 2 and then add 10% and then 10% (100 KPH / 2-> 50 + 5 + 5 = 60 MPH).

Instead of spending the money on a new speedo why don't you just do the math in your head, since you're in the military I know you are familiar with the metric system. You might even use some kind of sticker on your speedo for speeds like approx. 63 mph = 100 k.
I know you will have a great time on the autobahn -just be careful; I was driving along one Sunday at about 0600 doing about 120K (90mph) having a great time, drove through a construcion area with no one in sight. About a month later got a ticket in the mail for speeding, I didn't see the 100k speedlimit sign. It cost me about $100. Oh, and I got stopped one day for driving in the daytime with my lights on. It seems they can only be used when there is fog. Oh well, have a good time on your bike.
My God keep you safe and bring you quickly back to your famliy, friends and brothers. Thank you for serving our country.

RE: KPH Speedometer 2007 FXDWG
This will be my third tour there. Cannot wait, as I will be getting there right before Octoberfest!!!! And it will probablybe my last tour therer as Iwill have 25 years in when I get back and I think I might just be done then.
I also got my picture taken. It was right before entering the autobahn.
If I could find a "cheap" speedo then I do not have to calculate my speed. If not then I do it the other way, travel with the croud or never let them see my license plate.
Oh, gota say I love your quote....
