RE: Speedometer??
You are most likely right. I have 2 Harleys and both run about 4 miles per hour slower than indicated. This is according to my Garmin GPS and the Ohio State Highway Patrol...[:'(].

RE: Speedometer??
Almost every bike I've seen runs about 4 miles per hour slower than indicated. However, I used my Garmin this past weekend when I rented an '07 Ultra and found it was only 2 miles per hour fast on the speedo and about 2% (2 miles per hundred) fast on the odo.
