Poll Question:
Should Fish do it?
So Fish put a 17t countershaft sprocket on. And went to a 190/50 tire. I was talking to him last night, and 'splained how he had just underdriven the bike by 8% or so, and he needed to yellow box it if he wanted his speedo anywhere near accurate. Forgot to mention that from the factory, he's prolly reading about 8% faster than he's really going... I told him that I have a couple yellow box speedo calibrators, and he should stop by Performance Dyno on the way down and get one fitted and dyno calibrated. He could also get a dyno run in at the same time and see what kind of power his bike is making. So what should he do??
Poll Results:
 9 votes (45%)
Get the work done, so he won't get run over when his speedo reads 70, he's doing 55
1 votes (5%)
Have PK ride the 12 down.
2 votes (10%)
Leave it alone, Fish doesn't need to be going 70 in any case...

Get on a state cop's ass and follow him to the nearest donut shop

I dont look at the speedo either. But even if I did I couldnt, the speedo is covered.
The halmeter covers it but you can see 0-15 mph or anything above about 200 mph.
But the dyno sounds like a good plan. Get that beast dialed in Fish !!!

Hey fish, I told Swft to let you use my Zero Gravity Sport tour screen if would like for the trip. That is of course assuming you stop by for the yellow box and free dyno run!!

Fish did it! Yellow box, calibration on the dyno, a quick dyno run and installed the zero gravity sport tourer screen. And yes it is raining here in the Northwest.
