Welcome Captain beatle. Tuneboy is a definitive improvement on pre-R3T adaptions; if more umph is your desire. I've not heard many accolades about the low grunt R3T and Tuneboy.

On average, every motorcycle's speedometer is off approximately 10%. From what I've ready here the Rocket is off 6-7%.

+ or -

On average, every motorcycle's speedometer is off approximately 10%. From what I've ready here the Rocket is off 6-7%.

is that plus or minus

 

[Pig9r]

I would think optimistic.

"Usually", you are traveling slower than your listed speed.

 

[Molinoman]

I would think that if you are cruising down the highway at the Rocket's "comfortable" speed, I don't think the error will make much difference. If you are pulled over it will probably be because you were doing well over the speed limit and you'll just have to eat the ticket.

A Tuneboy will actually reprogram the ECU to correctly calculate your speed.

A small improvement can be made with a slightly larger darkside tire. A 225/55 will bring the speedo about 1-2 mph closer to actual.
