My speedometer is not accurate and I would like to fix that. I'm running a 5-bolt rear wheel on a 6-bolt bike.

Anyone have any first hand experience with these?

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

I'd love to put one of these on my SuperSport.  The SS' speedo is off about 10%, but I don't see where the cable would plug into the unit. 

(It's a mechanical speedometer.....get it?......it's a joke....get it?  No?  Crap.)

Because you want a more accurate representation of how far over the limit you are?  ???

Sort of. I'm a pretty conservative rider around town. I'd rather not instinctively jam on my brakes when I see an LEO headed the other way or set up at a speed trap.

I'd rather sit up and WAVE REAL BIG like I'm super happy to see him/her.  ;D

I also wouldn't mind having an accurate odometer for things like fuel mileage and maintenance intervals.

Thanks, Speeddog. Now that you posted it, I remember seeing that thread, but it didn't have a resolution last time I checked it. I'll go ahead and lock this one and let it fall off the bottom of the forum.  [beer]

No need to lock it, would be good to have more FHE for folks to refer to.

I've checked the odometer on my '02 S4 against a GPS and good mapping software, and it seems to be very accurate.
So the digital aspect is good.

My speedo reads ~5mph high at freeway speeds, so it seems the digital-analog conversion isn't quite spot-on.

I've checked my odometer (post wheel-swap) against mile posts and other known distances and it's well off.  :P

I'm using 999 wheels (5 bolt) on a Sport 1000 (6 bolt). I always just figured my speedometer was reading about 15% low, but I'm lazy and math is hard, so if I can correct it and not have to think it'll be better for everyone involved.

I'll be picking one up in a week or so and plan on doing a tutorial for those who may want to follow.

They also make a useful gear pos-n indicator and tre for bikes that need it. Got the dual unit on my gixxer, great for track days.
