however imagine if you put on two Sigmas for dual reference, youd lose even more top speed.
True, Allan, but ONLY if you own a Kwakker. THEIR stock speedos are notoriously inaccurate.....whereas Suzi speedos, as we all know, consistently UNDER-READ. This makes Suzis MUCH faster in actuality. :shock: :wink: :lol:

That's true! It a lot easier to get a under read "sweep" when the speedos only go to 45mph. And then the Kwakers at 4 times the speed gets a over read..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

LOL! C'mon John, you know they're not that bad. I have found Suzi speedos to be about 10% high (at worst)(mine are all optimistic). I don't think Kawakas are any worse.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........
