    SpeedoHealer install?

    Anyone install a SpeedoHealer in their 'B ?

    I'm putting one in shortly, as my speedo reads about 6.5% high. and am looking for ideas where to mount the control box and max speed button. There's lots of ideas for the GL1800, but nothing out there for the 'B yet.

    I was actually surprised. When I checked mine against the GPS at above 70 mph, mine seemed to be dead on. Granted, I'm looking at an analog speedometer , not sure how you calculated that 1/4 mph

    My 2009 Silverwing was off by exactly the same amount. I wonder if it's a metric conversion thing for the Canadian models. Cruising down the highway at 100 kph indicated, and only doing 94 kph actual , is a PITA. I got tired of having to do constant mental calculations to at least drive at the speed limit.

    In thinking about the location of the SpeedoHealer box, the lockable bin above the gas filler looks promising. I never use it anyway. I just keep that silly helmet cable in there.

    Where are you coming up with your actual? If it is from a GPS, did you use the same GPS on both bikes? General consensus is these bikes are pretty dead on, and to have it be exactly the same as your last bike is weird.

    Yes, same GPS on both bikes. I would like to know if any other Canadian F6B's are out by the same amount (6% low)

    My F6B is dead on, but my Valkyrie was about 5MPH high.
