Fishgutz, i may owe you a case of beer!!

I feel like a moron now, because i took a picture of the cluster while I was there, and noticed about an hour ago that the speedo was in KPH, but my poor american mind didnt correlate that the odometer would be in KM too.....whew, I'll call them first thing and tell them to put it back to miles.

That's funny right there !

About 23 yrs ago i bought a car and while driving home I was keeping up with traffic and looked down at the speedo and it said 110 ! Man, I slowed down and couldn't figure why everyone was hauling ass . Turned out the car was from Canada and the speedo was in KM/H instead of MPH so in reality I was going about 70 ! Took awhile getting used to that car !!

Maybe that's how an XB can go 160!

First off nothing been changed in my ECM or gauge cluster unless ebr some how changed my ECM that's a good thought. But realistically It would show me doing like 70 in first then so that can't be it.

Ha ha... That's awesome!

 

[hntnfsh]

Wow. That's got to be a monstrous relief. [cool]

 

[fishgutz]

Actually, if someone re-geared the rear sprocket they could get to 160. Top speed is limited by red line.
If I was so fat and hat balls of steel, I could reach the max speed that, mathematically, is ~151MPH. Red line in 5th gear. Change the gear ratio either by few teeth on the rear or modifying the gear box, there is enough power and torque to get it to 160. Probably need a fairing kit as well for stability.
Could also do it coasting down a really steep mountain high way. Say, in Colorado.

Fishgutz their talking about my buell. I've had my needled pegged past 160 but everyone doubts it.
