Oh right, cheers for that!

Hmm, But that would seem to mean a new, new speedo, on a new bike. Oh well, as they say, 'Everyday is a school day'.

You probably didn't see the decimal point on the A and B modes

You could have just wrote it down when you bought it. You can still subtract it from the total.

Going backwards in time, being down to one tripometer. Another thing it took Harley years to copy from the japs.

So does my 01 FLHR. But I sure like having 2 tripometers. If it scares you, don't look at it.


I can't possible understand why someone would want only one. To much to keep track of down there?

Never said it scares me and it's not too much to keep track of, I just said I like it that way...that is all, carry on.
