Hybrid speedo accuracy

Thought I'd post what I found today.

Used RGV 17 front wheel with rgv drive but N style clocks with FZ 600 135mph speedo fitted and wondered how far out it was. It seemed to read slower than the others I've tried so strapped the sat nav to the bars for GPS speed reading and was surprised by the outcome.

Speedo - 40, GPS 40

Speedo - 70, GPS 69

So more accurate than the car.

What a coincidence I have been looking at this problem myself for my gammaha using a complete rgv front end and was wondering if to find a rgv speedo or get a set of N style clocks. In an ideal world would like to use original lc clocks but seem to recall somewhere that it will not work on several levels.

Would be interesting to test the LC speedo against the 17 inch wheels we are fitting to the Hybrids
Was the FZ 600 wheel a 17 incher or 18 ?

Just did a search on ebay. Speedo is from an 86-88 FZ which would appear to be 16 inch which maybe is why it's working out.

FZR/TZR/N2 clocks on my LC with KR1S front end read c**k-on according to GPS. Just a lucky coincidence I guess.
