GARDEN GATE!!  in 1988 i did a trip from goondawindi to bundaberg ( can't remember the distance or time) but the average speed was 142 k's  two up, girlfriend didn't like it so i got rid of her! there's no reason an xs in good condition couldn't do that today, but i'm sure i couldn't!!!

@ Steptoe:
Would personally prefer NOT to be chosen as passenger, when you start testing those speeds on the old gardengates we are riding... 

I would've thought more like a bank safe door than a garden gate

[petejw1966]

for a 30 something year old analogue speedo,
they're pretty accurate.
in the manual they state 60 and 80k's as indicated are actual speeds.

Rigged up a temporary arrangement and ddi about 40km test ride
Result.....speedo surprisingly accurate within a % or 2
                Tacho very poor at 130kph swings wildly like an old EH fuel guage from about 5-7k.....

When I am up and about I'll see what the Garmin Zumo say's

I'm running 3,800 rpm at 100 kph with a 1179 cc (Wisco kit),donk, standard carbs and 4 - 1 pipes.

[steptoe]

would be a nice quick get around if the legal speed limit was 6k 

[melbxs]

I think mine is right on 4k at 100kmh too.

[classiXS]

Mine says 4K at 100Kmp/h... Never held it against a GPS though, but think that would be more correct than 6K, since you end up on more revs than the bike can show at topspeed 

[Jonesy]

Hmmm.......good tip Melb,
 I just happen to have a spare bicycle handle bar bracket thingy doing nothing..........not anymore

What revs are you doing at 100K's or what speed are you doing at 6 grand?

[melbxs]

I know Jeff in Melb has one, but it's a dedicated motorcycle one.


You could get one of these:

Good site and cheap as.

Any of you lot ever fitted one of these, I got a car one that suction cups to the windscreen but i wouldnt trust it to stay in place on a bike. Got any pics or tips how you fitted yours?

I mainly want to put one on to check my speedo. I'm doing about 6000rpm for 100Kph. I'm pretty sure this is wrong.....but which one?
