Default 07 SPEEDO READINGS

I am unsure if my bikes speedo is wrong. It doesn't seem like I am really doing 85 mph at about 3000 rpm. Anybody have 6th gear tach reading that I can compare to mine?

I don't have a rpm reading at 85 mph, but I can tell you that at 2500 rpm, my 07 FLHT, in sixth gear, shows 70 mph on the speedometer.

I checked my '07 eg with a GPS at 40,50,60,70 & 80 mph and my speedo was 2or3 mph fast. Speedo said 50, GPS said 48mph. It was consistent at all speeds.
