Default Speedometer needle at 6 0clock

How fast would that be on a 2010 speedometer?

You must've ridden through a black hole b/c you're traveling @ "negative" MPH...

I thought odometer was mileage and the needle was the speedometer i'm in my fifties silly me. My girlfriends son took my Road glide out on the highway and said he had the needle straight down, didn't feel like verifying it myself.

you didn't say the bike. On a 2010 Street Glide 6 O'Clock is the odometer! either way I wouldn't let him ride it again.

Your speedometer and odometer share the same gauge housing. The needle is on the speedometer the odometer is keeping track of mileage with little numbers that keep adding up. The needle at 6 oclock means it's facing straight down on the gauge face.

The Numbers stop at about like 4 o'clock! the bottom or 6 o"clock is the odometer. and yes they are both on the same gauge on a SG. Can't speak for a RG but the previous poster sounded like it was the same. why don't you go look at your bike and see what 6 o'clock is?
