Subject:Re: '84 Westy Speedometer Accuracy

If you have a friend with GPS  about 15 mins is all it would take to get a
fix on the accuracy.
I have an '84 Westy and with 205/70 x 14 tires my speedo is less than 2 mph
optimistic at 75 mph.    I even checked it at 90 mph and its 2 mph off at
that speed.
My van speedo is more accurate than my more modern BMW.
I use a Handspring Visor PDA with a plug in GPS module.

cheers,  Steve
