What's the (s)Miles per gallon? And is that number the actual dash readout? Unless you got a digital one, the stockers are usually in Km

If you rode it more sensibly at the bottom of 5th gear, im sure you could get 80. One time I filled up after riding mostly like that, and I got 75. |

How far off are our speedometers? On my almost trip to Uwharrie I only got passed once. I was running an indicated 60.

That is a really sharp red. Are the rims aluminum?

I think the rims are steel based on the weight when I installed the front wheel on my Hawk.

Yup...but I've only seen QLinks/Konkers run alluminum rims on full sized CBs.

I think the new TT250 has aluminum rims, along with another. Can't remember... Storm maybe?

mine was high about 3 to 4 mph. the digital speedo replacement is about 1 mph low (set on 19 inch wheel setting). these numbers are based on GPS speedo app on my phone.
