The speedos on the last 4 harleys have been right on. I could even tell the difference in the odometer from new to worn tires. I notice they dont say"official certified" anymore but dont know if that means anything.

I dont know if accurate as far as true 1 mile a minute or not but the 3 other bikes (Harleys) I ride with. We all are almost exactly the same miles wise when we fill up because we always compare mpg fwtw.
