Definitely.  MTBF for that effort has to be at least a half dozen times.  So good to go for several more!

Yeah, do it a few more times, and try to take the picture at 90° to the face of the gauge next time to eliminate any parallax error.  btw, I'm adding a disclaimer just like all those big companies do these days.  "The choice to follow my recommendation is strictly the responsibility of the rider.  Any tickets or other negative outcomes are not my fault, and I will not be accountable for such negative outcomes."

 :confused5:  Unless you changed the final drive ratio, 120 should be about 5200 rpm in 5th gear.  Are you saying your bike won't pull 5200 rpm in 5th, or are you one of the guys who did the 30 tooth trans sprocket?

Youz guys are a whole lot braver than I could ever be.  I think my limit is about 100. Maybe I just like my head a little  more than some.  :nixweiss:   Or maybe I'm just not in that big of a hurry.  ::)

Remember to check your tire speed rating when you get her stopped. H rated tire is only good for 130MPH as I recall.  :2vrolijk_21:
