Tell me more, or, specifically tell me what I need to pay you to have you put one of these on my bike...
I have found based upon the digital radar speed signs, when the speedo says 34, I'm actually doing 30

There is one on Honeoye Falls and one on my way o work on Exchange Blvd


I have been told, these suckers are very accurate

If you can remove the left side fairing by yourself, you can install this. Completely Plug-n-Play. Comes with a harness that plugs right in to the factory harness. No special wiring required.

Mr Good Deals failed on this one. Everyone charges the same price, and at $115 it is not a bargain.

Yellow box now has a plug-n-play harness. $108 with harness. I went with the Speed-o-healer because it seems to be the preferred unit on the VFR forum.

Wow, if this is true, Mr. Good Deals is really screwing up a lot lately
If it is as simple as you say, here is what the real Mr Good Deals would have said

Doug- it's not too hard, if you pull the left fairing and get the bike ready for me I'll come over some night and wire it up for ya. The fee for this service will be one 12-pack of something really good, like a Ithaca Beer Co, or a Southern Tier.

You would have then gotten a 12-pack of great beer for about 2-minutes of labor, that would be a good deal

I love how he does all my homework for me
- correct jacket
- correct tank bag
- correct chain lube
- correct speed fixer

The drawback to this is that it affects the odometer too. The odometer is correct from the factory, so it will read low after the correction. Makes figuring gas mileage a pain, but I'm not concerned with that.

And for you Mark, I'm confused why you don't just get your speed from the Garmin



I use my Garmin in the CRX-Si as a speedometer, works perfect

I could, but 90% of the time, I don't put it on the bike.

So why not spend a few seconds and save yourself over a hundred bucks Mr Good Deals?
