Then you are one of the lucky ones.Mine is about 5mph faster.Top speed for me was 110 indicated so 105 actual.We have those nice speedar trailer sitting around that tells you your speed.Ours have cameras that take a shitty pic of you if you're running 5mph over the limit.
PICS are GONE never TO return.

Anyone done it with a GPS? Vehicle speedo's are up to +10% out

125 on a slightly downhill grade wind behind me with my buddy and his inline 4 gs550e cafe racer.  I'm guessing actually about 115-120 tops, but thats what speedo indicated.  It was with all my current mods but a 15t not a 14t sprocket. 
GS500E with a bunch of cool stuff!
