I like that ring around the speedo (and that's the first 130 mph speedo I've seen on a Harley), but wonder about glare in sunlight. Sometimes I think about putting tape over some of the shiny bits on long rides.

That might be the first bedazzled speedometer I've seen...

I kid, I kid.

I'd like to see a front view of that windshield!

120 is all I've ever seen on a Harley, didn't know they were different in Europe - thought they'd be metric anyway. Lot of them wouldn't even do 120, anyway. This 883 sure wouldn't come close. Our S&S powered bikes...

Here in the UK we have the best of both Worlds! Pints and miles, as well as metric stuff. You notice that speedo has mph and kph as well. Bikes for wholly metric countries (like the rest of Europe!) will have metric only speedos. I think the most I've ever seen on my Harley speedos is around 115mph, so 130 could be said to be a bit over the top!
