It is SPOT on! 1 mile = 1 mile on the odometer.
But the Speedo is off by 5 mph.
Least I know I'm really travelling the miles I think I am.

Dude, you need to be on mythbusters. Thanks for checking! Now I know my MPG is accurate too!

I reset the odometer this am. and my Gps At the same time. I Rode exactly 20.0 miles acording to the Gps. The Odometer reads 21.4 It is not off by much, but it is off. I am running the 205/65r-15
on a 1300S if I were running the 205/70R-15 it would probibly be right on..
I am getting approx. 45-50 mpg. depending on conditions and my mood.

You my friend are my hero. I myself have not givin much thought to that. Yet. I guess I will invistagate that when I get to ride some more. My question is Have yall noticed a diff after the switch to the Darkside?????????

Oh Muntz.
You might as well order yourself another set of bars now. This would keep the down time to a minimum. Just trying to help.

I thought it funny enough that I told Muntz about it when I was talking to him earlier.

Thanks for the "HELP" brother. If it happens again I know where I can find a set of "F" bars to try out on this "R"

you guys don't wanna ask the 1800 guys... they make your low mileage look high!~

So nodak, what mileage are you getting out of the 1800?

best cruising 35/45ish mph in the hills about 40.. normally average about 36, when I'm in a good mood and playing about 32ish, maybe?
