My FLHTK is 2 mph high with my Garmin However my 2003 SE Road King was right on the money. It says certified on the speedo may just be a marketing trick but is right on.
Gotta disagree with the odometer being a mechanical device...LCD, no cable/worm-gear unit driven by the front wheel. I'm not concerned with the speedo reading faster than actual; my Wide Glide is the same. My point of concern was the discrepancy between the length of time (or number of pulses from whatever speedo sensor) between tenth-of-mile transitions when holding a steady speed.
Just never mind...I'm even starting to sound ridiculous to myself now.
Agree, today's are electronic. Regardless, mechanical, electro-mechanical or electronic, the rules are the same.
