[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 730186, member: 257"] the least expensive solution is to use your bike's clock/your watch/your smart phone and the mile markers on the highway. use the two and do the math in your head for a 5 or 10 mile section and you have your speed compared to your speedo and can then mentally adjust indicated for actual. instead of modding the bike, get a GPS one of the least expensive ones will display speed and location. FYI: ALL speedometers in the US are wrong. the manufacturer usually errs on the cautious side (showing faster than you really are going) to avoid class action lawsuits. Change tires on any vehicle (and/or rims on the 4 wheelers) and that changes everything again. It's a never-ending battle. if you're seeking really accurate readings, then you have to re-adjust your speedo as the tread wears down on a new set of tires. IMO It's easiest to either use a GPS or do like we used to pre-GPS days... get a ball park and work with it. For Honda's it tends to read 10% low (the faster you go the more actual MPH it's off).
