Top speed

on a related note ---
are HD's speedometers supposed to be correct? most other bikes (manufacturers) have a noted error between indicated speed and actual speed. haven't had my heritage long enough to really tell or find out if the speedo is correct. thanks......

I had a dealer tell me if they are within 10% there are considered good. I can tell you that on my 09 Ultra the faster I go the more it is off. It follows the same graduation as well. For example, if it is off 3 MPH at 45 MPH it will be off 6 MPH at 90. This is close to what is the case with my ride. No big deal to me. Trouble is it is off on the higher side, so my warranty will expire sooner as my mileage is higher than it should be. My speedo reads higher than I am actually going as backed up with my truck's speedo as well as my GPS.
 
Any German HD riders out there with their top speed reports? With no upper speed limit on the autobahns, that should be fertile ground for this one.
