yeah if you strap a GPS to your bike you'll be suprised how bad the error is. my bike is stock and 72mph=65mph. 165 indicated probably means that you're only doing 140 or so. they always error up for some reason (safety related maybe?)

Really are they off that much? I had my 06 up to 174 tacked out pretty much. Where can you get one of those speedo healers?
