Hell I thought he was far enough north to have all 4 seasons.
You know Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and winter.

Isn't that a mechanical speedo? Mine used to be ok, now it's 10 off, which means the odo isn't registering properly either.

Here is the fun!!!!!!!!!!
Harley uses 3 different ratios for their speedometers.
1 to 1, 2 to 1, and 2240 to 60.
On your front axle you will find the speedo drive gear.
It has to match your speedometer.

It could be a bad speedo cable.

greasemonkey, your speedo should be the 2240:60...same as my 84 if the front end is stock as well as your speedo set up.
