Speedo Error

Just curious - what speedo errors do you guys typically have compared to GPS:

@60 mph = act ??
@ 80mph = act ??
@ 100 mph = act ??

From the factory, our speedos read 8.1% fast.

I usually just figure I'm going 5 mph slower than the speedo reads when I'm doing 40-80 mph. Under 40 mph indicated, I don't think the error is significant enough to bother with. Over 80 indicated, I'm probabley risking a ticket anyway. Might as well enjoy it.

Sounds about right. Everyone's is the same, except those that have the Speedohealer installed. They can bypass the speed limiter with that contraption, too. I think they're about $150. Get a pipe and speedohealer on there and you could hit an earnest 200...if you have a place to do it safely.
