Owned two Harleys in my life, valves, oil leaks, tranny leaks, carburation issues, (solved by Mikuni) primary problems, awful vibration, lame power.....I...

    SPEEDOMETER?

    Checked speed with a GPS and by timing several times last weekend. 5.5 mph off. Reads fast. Is this "normal" Hard to believe with modern tech these speedometers are never correct.
