    Every Honda I've ever had, from 1969 to present, has registered about 5 mph slow. So, I just drive 5 mph over the speed limit.

    The speedo works off the front wheel's rotation, I checked years ago trying to remedy a GL1500 Wing, but there was no fix. I haven't checked since then, someone may have some newer information.

    And the gas gauge? Only the factory dressed bikes have them. You'll learn to watch the trip-ometer for mileage between fills.

    Enjoy the trike.

    just fixed a VTX1300/MotorTrike. with a system called "SDpeederHealer" before the speedo read 12 MPH fast. speedhealer fixed it right up. Expensive but it works. $115.00

    Healtech speedohealer is the answer as stated above. www.speedohealer.com.

    I don't rate them as expensive vrs speeding tickets.

    PS. My Trike is based upon a M109.R They make for an awesome trike.

    It would actually be a "going to slow" ticket. My speedo was registering more than the actual speed. Besides the speedometer being off, the odometer is also off - registering more miles than actual. For my bike was 15 for every 100! That's a lot! And you will never really know what your true MPG is. Got the SpeedoHealer, and the cost was worth it. I don't want to "do the math in my head" while I'm riding - too much else to think about!!!

    hey thanks all for the info I'll have to look into it. just spent quite a bit of money getting the trunk, a bracket manufactured for it and a memphis shade fairing. this is getting expensive, but well worth it if the wife is happy riding

    A 1300 VTX does not have a fuel gauge, you have a reserve lever on the left side with approximately 1 gallon left.

    CLO it's plug and play. Remove the chrome cover on the left side and the connectors are right there. I mounted the adjuster module under the other cover above that. No issues.

    Remember--It is never the issue but rather how we react to the issue is the issue.
